Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

My 12-year-old daughter has had a severe cold, cough, and mild fever since four days. I gave her Paracetamol for the fever and honey to relieve her sore throat. However, the discomfort and cough are more at night, and she cannot sleep. Also, the mild fever persists. What could be the reason? Please advise.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

She might have an infection. She needs antibiotics, Paracetamol, Antihistamines, and saline or Betadine gargling. To be reviewed with your query soon for better understanding and treatment advice and prescription of drugs.
