An 8-year-old girl visited our clinic with a high-grade fever of 102.5°F since the previous night, accompanied by cold and cough. As an experienced pediatrician in Vadodara, I carefully evaluated her symptoms and reassured the parents. Antibiotics were avoided, and home-based care was advised, focusing on adequate hydration, rest, and supportive measures.
Within two days, the fever subsided, though the cough persisted mildly. With continued care, the cough significantly reduced by the third day. Compassionate counseling was provided to the parents to ease their concerns and ensure compliance with the treatment plan.
This case highlights the importance of avoiding unnecessary antibiotics and relying on symptomatic care for viral illnesses common in children during this season. At Aashrey Child Clinic, we prioritize personalized care and empower parents with the knowledge to support their child’s recovery.

As a committed pediatrician in Vadodara, today brought a case that required swift action. A 5-year-old child presented with decreased appetite for 2 weeks, occasional vomiting, and yellow urine noticed over the last 4 days. On examination, there was no visible icterus or hepatomegaly, prompting further investigations.
Blood reports revealed significantly elevated liver enzymes, with SGOT exceeding 3000 and SGPT at 1700. HAV IgM tested positive, confirming Hepatitis A. The child was managed with symptomatic care, including hydration and nutritional support, as no specific antiviral treatment is required for Hepatitis A.
The child is responding well to treatment and recovering steadily, showcasing the importance of timely diagnosis and care. This case highlights the prevalence of viral infections like Hepatitis A in Vadodara and emphasizes the need for awareness about hygiene and vaccination as preventive measures.
