### output:

Hello, Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your children history and would like to make suggestions for him/her as follows:1. Personally I prefer paracetamol to ibuprofen for fever in flu or flu-like infections. The reason is better safety profile. If fever does not respond to paracetamol, then only I would suggest you ibuprofen.Also, I would suggest tepid sponging for fever in addition to medicines.2. I would also suggest him a cough syrup containing an antihistamine (like pheniramine) and decongestant (phenylephrine). It will take care of other symptoms like cold and to some extent, cough.3. Maintenance of HY Chat Doctor.  Please ensure that your child is taking plenty of fluids during the day. I would suggest you to offer him oral fluids frequently.4. During a viral infection, it is very common to have loss of appetite. Please do not force your child food. Let him/her take according to appetite and continue to offer him fluids in between.5. Viral infections usually take 5-7 days to resolve. If he develops any new symptom, fever continues or increases or does not respond, I would suggest you to consult a pediatrician who will examine her and also will suggest him tests to look for infections other than viral infections. Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you. Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at Chat Doctor. Wish your child a very good recovery and a very good health ahead. Thank you & Regards.
