A mild fever of 99.1F with a cold in a 7-month-old is usually viral. Antibiotics are not needed unless a doctor finds a bacterial infection. Consult a paediatrician if the fever rises or persists beyond 2-3 days

  1. Current Treatment:

    • Continue administering PCM syrup as directed for fever management.

  2. Antibiotic Use:

    • Do not start antibiotics without consulting a pediatrician. Antibiotics are not effective against viral infections like the common cold.

  3. Monitoring:

    • Monitor the child's symptoms. If the fever persists or worsens, or if new symptoms develop, seek medical advice.

  4. General Care:

    • Ensure the child stays hydrated and gets plenty of rest.
