Thank you Snoopy, Chrisg

I think fever is a important factor in his treatment as he gets sick very often. Everytime he gets sick the fever is around 101deg F, then lingers around as low grade for quite a long time. In fact since thanksgiving we have not been able to have a good handle on his fever...getting it on & off. His chronic condition or getting this fever includes, ear infections, chest congestion, yellowish - greenish nasal discharge, & frequent cough.

Current Symptoms:
Currently, he only has fever now 99.5deg F, little sore throat, some pain on swallowing, no pain going to the ears anymore (given Calc Carb 30C). His lips are dry and also get red during fever. His skin in general is dry and slightly itchy. He is feeling stuffiness in the nose, & clears only when we put saline water in the nose & make him blow. Usually when we make him clear his nostrils this way, it is greenish in the morning & gets lighter as the day progresses (white nasal discharge in the evening). He has no chills. His hands & forehead is warm on touch due to fever. In general he feels cold but in the night he says his feet are burning. He usually kicks off the covers in the night while sleeping. As earlier mentioned he gets scared very easily & comes to parents bed every night (chronic habit), but he is not clingy type or wanting attention. His face is pale, & on physicians visit, his blood work showed he is slightly anaemic. He doesn't say what makes him better or worse but by our judgement he feels better in open air. He gets pain in the back of the head (chronic condition too) when he sits in the car for 15 to 20 mins, & this happens generally ( 9 out of 10 drives). He feels tired in general these days. No body aches. Tongue slightly white in the back.

I hope I have answered all the questions.

Thanks for all the help.

Regards,
Rajan
