Hi. My child has Omicrine. He has a fever systematically every 5 hours. I beat his fever with cold compresses and paracetamol alternating with ibuprofen. It takes 6 days. At night, he gets up to 40.5 degrees of fever. The doctor prescribed us berodual. Will it help? Should I ask for an antibiotic?

Berodual is a bronchodilator that facilitates breathing, e.g. in the course of a tiring cough, and also prevents the action of compounds that cause the inflammatory process in the respiratory tract. If, out of all the therapeutic options, a doctor familiar with the child's health has chosen Berodual, you should trust him. If, on the other hand, you have any doubts, they should be dispelled directly in a conversation with the doctor who recommended them, e.g. by phone: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/blog/jak-telefoniczne-otrzymac-recepte-i-zwolnienie-lekarskie I do not know the child's state of health so that I can assess whether the prescribed therapy will help him, but I trust the knowledge and experience of the doctor who made the recommendations. If you have reason to believe that your child should be given an antibiotic, please talk to your doctor about it. Please remember that coronavirus infection is a viral infection and an antibiotic is given in a bacterium infection. In the case of a viral infection, the antibiotic is switched on only when bacterial superinfection of the respiratory tract occurs, because the antibiotic does not act on viruses. The information about the fever itself is not decisive to prescribe an antibiotic to the child, although its persistence for 6 days may be a signal to the doctor that a bacterial infection may have joined the viral infection and it is worth considering the introduction of a drug that acts on bacteria. I leave the decision to the attending physician. I am attaching a study that may be of interest to you: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/koronawirus-u-dzieci-objawy-i-powiklania
