My 2.8-year-old daughter has had a fever of 101.8 to 102?F and a severe cough for 2 to 3 days, and although I am giving her Macbery LS syrup, Solvin Cold syrup, Levolin syrup, Meftal, and Calpol syrup, her fever keeps returning every six hours; what steps should I take next, and are there any other medicines she should be given?
I understand how worrying it is when your little girl's fever keeps returning. Please stop giving her multiple medicines right away. Several syrups you are using, like Calpol, Solvin Cold, and Meftal, contain similar active ingredients (like paracetamol), which can accidentally cause an overdose. Similarly, Macbery LS and Levolin both contain levosalbutamol. Do not add any new medications. Instead, please consult a pediatrician immediately for a proper physical exam and a safe, tailored prescription. For now, keep her hydrated and use lukewarm water sponging to gently soothe her fever. You are doing a great job caring for her.
