Covid Positive Baby
Hello,
My 6 months 26 day old baby girl has tested covid positive. She has occasional sneezing & once or twice coughing. Kindly advise what to do to improve her condition.
My daughter suddenly got high fever (101 ) on Monday night. I gave her crocin drops. The fever repeatedly came every 4-5 hours .Next morning I took her to pediatrician. She checked and found throat congestion. She also advised urine culture.
On Thursday we went again for a review. On that day we did her blood , covid and other viral tests. All came nigative except covid. My doctor did not change any medications. Currently my daughter is on cepodem 50, crocin & meftal ( only when crocin cannot Lowe her fever). Kindly suggest how can I help my daughter to improve the condition.
Thanks
