A member asked:
My 5 year old have a fever and cold viral infection for the past 9 days doctor said he cannot treat with an antibiotics, but what can i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Listen to your doc: Nine days is a little long for a viral illness, but if your 5 year old does not have any other major symptoms, suggest you wait a day or two and then take them back to doctor if not better. If any other symptoms (headache, nausea, vomiting, chest pain, difficulty breathing, and so on) then take them back asap.
