hello doctor, since friday night, my 17 mths baby is having watery eyes, cough with phlem, low fever, and since yesterday he s vomiting. On friday itself, we went to his ped for the prevenar vaccin. He said that everything was fine, the lungs, ears... everything. I don t understand. All of a sudden.
Hi... I don't think this is related to the Prevent vaccination. This looks like a viral illness. Cough and cold are viral 95% of the times in child Chat Doctor.  For cold, you can use anti-allergics like cetirizine and for nose block, saline nasal decongestants will do. Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15\u00a0mg/kg/dose (max ceiling dose 500\u00a0mg) every 4-6th hourly, that too only if fever is more than 100F.

For nasal block, plain saline nasal
