HI. My son is 4 yrs and 3 months old. Has had high grade fever (ovr 102F) for 3 days. Almost thrice a day. Doctor had been giving mefanamic acid suspension (Sos). at the end of 3rd day, amoxycilin has been started. He cougghed out bloody (dark red) mucus from his nose. Is this because of mefanamic acid and is it a cause of worry?
Hi thanks for contacting Chat Doctor .... Your child according to complaint can have bronchitis or bronchiolitis like infective condition of bronchi and bronchioles... Detail physical examination with auscultation needed.... If crepitation heard and respiratory rate high pneumonia has to be ruled out. Chest x-ray might need.... Continue using antibiotic.... Here one time bleed can be from nose trauma or from above-mentioned resp causes..... If bronchoconstriction present, suspected by auscultation by rhonchi then bronchodilator might have given.... After completing antibiotic follow up done to your treating doctor by keeping these in mind.... Take care....
