These prescribed medicines are standard: Duet is an antibiotic, Zerotuss XP relieves cough, and Xyzal M targets allergies. Antibiotics can take 48 to 72 hours to control an infection, which is why the fever is still returning. Do not change these medications or start new ones on your own. To relieve the fever and help your baby sleep, ensure you are giving a prescribed paracetamol syrup at safe, doctor-approved intervals. Keep your baby hydrated and use a saline nasal spray if congested. Please consult your paediatrician immediately for a re-evaluation, especially if you notice fast breathing, chest retractions, or extreme lethargy.

  1. Possible Conditions

    • Severe cough and recurring fever in infants may indicate respiratory infections (e.g., pneumonia, bronchitis), viral illnesses, or pertussis.

  2. Medication Review

    • The combination of Montelukast + Levocetirizine, Ambroxol + Guaifenesin + Levosalbutamol, and Amoxicillin + Clavulanic acid is generally appropriate for these symptoms. Reassessment is crucial if symptoms persist.

  3. When to Seek Urgent Care

    • Seek immediate medical attention if the baby has persistent high fever, difficulty breathing, poor feeding, or is lethargic.

  4. Next Steps

    • Consult the pediatrician promptly for reassessment and potential medication adjustment to ensure appropriate treatment.
