Hello doctor, during his first 5 years our child often had throat infection & Azithral 100 has been the medicine suggested by the doctor which got him cured. We as parents now know what to look for if he has a temperature. He is now close to 7 years & body weight is ~34 kgs. For the last 2 days he has a throat infection & we re just wondering if we should shift to Azithral 200/250 syrup / suspension and halving it at 2 times per day ? Thanks ..
Hi, Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. Hi Throat infection may be one of the reason for fever, But it's not the only reason for fever. It's advisable in greater interest of your child not to start treatment by yourselves without proper assessment of child. Please give on fever medicine Paracetamol at 15\u00a0mg/kg every 6 hours if fear present, give cough medicine like some over the counter syrup for cough, observe for fever trend and if it's continuous for more than 2 days please visit your pediatrician. Irrational use of antibiotics may be harmful for your baby. Thanks. If you have any more queries I am happy to answer them. Else, please rate this answer and close the discussion
