Antibiotics are not always effective, as most coughs and fevers during the cold season are caused by viral infections. Supportive care, including rest, hydration, and fever management, is usually sufficient. You should consult a paediatrician to determine the cause and whether antibiotics are necessary for your child.

  1. Effectiveness of Lizoforce Dry Syrup:

    • Lizoforce Dry Syrup is used for bacterial infections, not viral infections like the common cold.
    • It is not a fever reducer or cough suppressant.

  2. Recommendations:

    • Persistent cough and fever may need additional treatment like fever reducers (e.g., paracetamol) or cough suppressants.
    • Consult a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

  3. Urgent Care:

    • Seek immediate medical attention if symptoms worsen or are accompanied by difficulty breathing, lethargy, or dehydration.
