Hi, welcome to Chat Doctor. Can understand your concerns. Fever for 3 days with episode of nose bleed can occur in Upper respiratory tract infection, sinusitis, pharyngitis or lower respiratory tract infection. - In upper respiratory tract infection, fever is present and cough is also present. History of throat pain can be present. - In sinusitis, fever is present and headache is also present. - In pharyngitis, fever and throat pain is present. - In lower respiratory tract infection, fever, cough and chest congestion is present. Kindly do complete blood count, CRP levels and X-ray chest. An examination by ENT specialist doctor should be done so that we may not miss any important finding. Continue paracetamol syrup for fever in dose of 15 mg /kg per dose orally. Review back with above reports. I hope this will help you. Wishing your child good health. Take care.
