I'm really worried about my little one. He had pneumonia when he was just 9 months old, and since then he keeps getting sick every few weeks, like every 23 weeks or so. Now he's got a fever and cold, and he's coughing with wheezing again. Is there a pattern here, or something we should be doing differently? This keeps happening, and I feel like I'm missing something important. Would love your advice on what steps to take next.

My child has a really high fever, and their temperature is at 102F. The doctor suggested giving them Meftal, but even after taking one dose, the fever hasn't gone down. What should I do next, should I keep giving the medication or try something else? I'm really worried and could use some advice.

The medication Meftal is commonly used to reduce fever and relieve pain. In this case, since the fever is still high at 102F after taking Meftal, you can consider giving your child Acetaminophen (such as Tylenol) at a dose appropriate for their age and weight. It is important to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the packaging or as advised by your doctor. Additionally, make sure your child stays hydrated and dress them lightly to help reduce the fever. If the fever persists or if your child's condition worsens, please consult your doctor for further evaluation.

I'm really worried about my son; he's been dealing with a cold, cough, wheezing, and a runny nose for the past 11 days. He wasn't eating anything and seemed to be thirsty all the time, which isn't normal for him. We went to see a pediatrician who recommended T-minic and Asthalin syrup along with a nebulizer, but we skipped the nebulizer because he doesn't feel comfortable with it. Now he's a bit better, eating decently, and is more active. But his runny nose just won't go away, especially in the mornings and evenings, even after all this time. I've stopped giving him the Asthalin syrup but continue with T-minic twice a day. What can I do about this persistent runny nose? Also, it seems like his colds often turn into wheezing now, and that's really tough on him and us too. He's restless and can't sleep, which affects his appetite as well. I can't bear to see him suffer like this, and it's scary to think of him catching another cold that might turn into wheezing again. Any advice would be really appreciated.

For your son's persistent running nose, consider adding saline nasal drops or spray to help loosen mucus, and consult the pediatrician about continuing Tminic and possibly adding an antihistamine or decongestant; regarding the recurring wheezing, discuss with the pediatrician the possibility of underlying conditions like asthma, allergies, or respiratory issues, and explore preventive measures, such as avoiding triggers, using a humidifier, and keeping your home clean and dust-free, to reduce the likelihood of wheezing episodes.
