My little brother is very sick, PLEASE help!?!


Question: My little brother has the 30-day-cough, and it is really bad. Last night he had a fever, and the medication is not working for him. We have tried kids advil for fever and pain and the Tylenol bubble gum for fever and pain. It does not work and the doctor doesnt prescribe anything else. Last night he threw up his medicine and his stomache wont take it. His temperature keeps changing, he will get a fever and then it will go away for an hour or so. Now he is having Diarrhea, and he is very pale. What are some things I can make for him with househeld products and how ca I make sure my 6-month-old brother doesnt get it??!! Thanks so much for your help!

Take him to the hospital, emergency room if you can. If the doctor just prescribes the same thing, don't go back to him, since he's not being helpfull.

I'll keep him and you in my prayers

Hey, np. Hope it goes well.

An age old remedy is to let him have some Honey and that subsides the cough. However if he does have cronic cough its a good idea to boil some Dry Ginger Powder Found in West Indian shops with honey and let him have it at regular intervals.
For the diarrhea keeping feeding him a glass of water with 2 tbsp sugar and i tsp salt mixed in to hydrate him.
hope he feels better soon

Household products aren't going to help here. You need to call up the doctor and tell him if your brother isn't getting better and especially if he is getting worse or has new problems.

To keep your baby brother from getting whatever your sick brother has, keep the baby away from him and wash hands thoroughly after touching your sick brother and before you touch the baby.

If the doctor isn't doing anything about it then I would take him to the hospital. Especially if his fever keeps coming back and he has diarrhea and vomiting.

Take him straight to a different doctor for a second opinion However warm honey subsides a cough, and a cup of hot water with lemon juice makes it easier on the throat. You need to restore the salts he is losing through diarrhea, which can be found in chemists.
Hope this helps and hope everything is ok!

the bigest thing is WASH HANDS WASH HANDS WASH HANDS.

If all else fails go to ER. In the mean time try hot Chicken noodle soup, dry toast saltine crackers. Hot tea with honey in it is good, lots of oj and a warm coca cola will help sooth the tummy.

Also a warm not hot but warm bath feels good when sick.
Lots of bed rest too.

He needs to go to a doctor. A cough for 30 days can be very serious. Vomiting and fever can lead to dehydration. He needs to go to a doctor or ER now!

your mom needs to tell his doctor whats going on with him now.
