My child has had a fever, cough, and cold for the past 2 days. He feels a bit better during the day, but at night the fever becomes high, and his nose gets blocked. We are giving Cetifar 10 mg tablet and Merimol 250. What should I do next?
Fever with cough and cold in children is often due to a viral infection, and symptoms can worsen at night due to nasal blockage. Keep your child well hydrated, give warm fluids, and use steam or saline drops to relieve nasal congestion. Ensure the room is comfortably warm and let the child rest well. Continue medicines only as advised and avoid giving extra doses on your own. If the fever remains high at night or lasts for more than a few days, consult a doctor for proper assessment.
