My child has had a mild fever, cough, and cold for the past 3 days. I am giving a suspension with paracetamol, phenylephrine, chlorpheniramine, sodium citrate, and menthol, but it is not helping. What should I do now?
A mild fever, cough, and cold for a few days are usually due to a viral infection and may take time to settle. If there is no improvement with the current syrup, focus on simple care, such as keeping your child well hydrated, offering warm fluids, and ensuring proper rest. Keep the nose clear and maintain a comfortable room environment. Avoid giving additional medicines on your own. Consult your doctor to reassess the condition and adjust treatment if needed.
