Baby has increased temp due to cold
My baby is 7 weeks old. He had increased temperarure of 100.5. Consulted doctor and he has diagnosed my baby with fever due to cold and cough. Prescribed maxtra 10 drops 3 times for 5 days and phexin 5 drops 2 times for 5 days. We gave maxtra twice and phexin once and checked the temperature. Temp has gone high upto 101.5. Please advise if I should continue with the dosage until temperature decreases or should take to doctor immediately.
