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?

Your child's symptoms of fever, cough, and nasal blockage worsening at night suggest ongoing respiratory infection or allergy-related issues despite the current medications.
The Cetifar 10 mg tablet contains cetirizine, an antihistamine that helps with allergy symptoms like a blocked or runny nose but does not treat infections. Merimol 250 (likely a paracetamol or similar) helps reduce fever and pain. Persistent high fever at night and nasal blockage may indicate a viral or bacterial infection needing further evaluation.
It is important to consult a pediatrician promptly to assess if antibiotics or other treatments are needed and to rule out complications. They can also review the current medications and adjust treatment based on your child's condition.
