An 8‑month‑old baby with a cold and a fever of 101.7°F may not show immediate reduction in temperature after medication, and this can be within the expected course of illness; however, giving both Wikoryl Oral Drops and Sumol together is not advisable unless specifically directed by a doctor, since both contain paracetamol and combining them can risk overdose. Supportive care, such as keeping the baby hydrated, dressing in light clothing, and monitoring feeding and alertness, is important, and medical attention should be sought if the fever rises above 102°F, persists beyond 2–3 days, or if the baby becomes excessively sleepy, feeds poorly, or has breathing difficulty.

It is completely normal that he was not prescribed an antibiotic, as runny noses and fevers are usually viral, which antibiotics do not treat. However, because of his recent Wikoryl overdose, please do not give him Atarax (hydroxyzine) or paracetamol without consulting his pediatrician first. His body needs time to recover, and we want to avoid doubling up on similar medications. Please contact his doctor or seek medical advice to safely evaluate his new fever and ensure he receives the correct.

Maintaining adequate hydration, using a humidifier, and gently suctioning nasal mucus with a bulb syringe are all ways you can assist your child. Get in touch with your pediatrician right once if the fever continues, the symptoms get worse, or your kid exhibits symptoms of dehydration or breathing difficulties.

For a 10-month-old, please stop the Wikoryl drops and any medicated nasal sprays, as multi-ingredient cold medications and decongestants are not recommended for babies this young without direct pediatric guidance. Instead, you can safely use simple saline nasal drops and a bulb syringe to gently clear his blocked nose. The yellowish eye discharge could indicate a mild infection or a blocked tear duct, which is common with a cold. Please consult your pediatrician promptly to evaluate his eyes and ensure he receives the safest care.

Since your baby is vomiting, having loose stools, and refusing liquids, the biggest concern is dehydration. I recommend stopping the Wikoryl drops and taking him to a pediatrician immediately for a proper evaluation. Infants can dehydrate quickly. In the meantime, try offering very small sips of breast milk, formula, or oral rehydration solution?even just a teaspoon every few minutes. Please consult a doctor right away to ensure he gets the right care to recover safely.

Antibiotics such as Althrocin Drops should only be administered to a 10-day-old infant by a pediatrician following a thorough assessment. In a similar vein, Wikoryl Oral Drops are often not advised for infants, so you should speak with your physician before administering any medication.
