Do not lose patience...As fever is going to last 5 to 7 days.Vomitings settle in a day or two...Diarrhea in young kids last 5 to 7 days...Cough lasts longer than what we think (usually two to three weeks...)Just learn Red Flag signs of such illnesses...Medicine is not just drugs but it is knowledge about disease pattern...Sometimes parents are in a hurry as they have to travel or they have to attend a marriage or exams are about to come...How does it matter as disease has its own swing...
