If your child's cough, cold, and eye pain have lasted 7 days and have not improved with Ebast and Calpol, it is time to see a paediatrician. Persistent symptoms may indicate a bacterial infection, eye infection, or another issue that needs proper examination and treatment.

I'm sorry to hear your child has been experiencing these symptoms for a week. Persistent cough, cold, and eye pain despite taking Ebast (an antihistamine used for allergies) and Calpol (paracetamol for fever and pain) suggest that the underlying cause may need further evaluation.

Here are some important points and recommendations:

  • Eye pain with cold and cough could indicate an infection such as conjunctivitis or another eye condition that requires specific treatment.
  • Ebastine is generally not recommended for children as its safety in this group is not well established.
  • Since symptoms have lasted 7 days without improvement, it is important to have your child examined by a pediatrician or a pediatric ophthalmologist (eye specialist).
  • The doctor may need to check for infections, allergies, or other causes and may prescribe appropriate medications or further tests.
  • Avoid self-medicating beyond the prescribed doses and do not start new medications without medical advice.

If your child develops worsening symptoms such as high fever, difficulty breathing, severe eye redness or discharge, or any other concerning signs, seek urgent medical care immediately.

Please consult a pediatrician promptly to get a thorough evaluation and appropriate treatment for your child's condition.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.I understand your child is having a cough, cold, and eye pain for the past 7 days and is not getting any better with Ebast and Calpol. Please provide the child's age and gender.
