This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

My 12-year-old daughter has had a severe cold, cough, and mild fever since four days. I gave her Paracetamol for the fever and honey to relieve her sore throat. However, the discomfort and cough are more at night, and she cannot sleep. Also, the mild fever persists. What could be the reason? Please advise.
