Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
Welcome to Ask A Doctor service
I have gone through your query and understand your concern
If the fever is of less than 48 hours duration, cough is dry to hear and he is otherwise active and playful, this is probably a viral illness and we need to give only Paracetamol. You can give 1ml of Pyrigesic drops 3-4 times daily for 3 days. For cough, you can give 3.5ml of Salbutamol syrup(2mg/5ml) 3 times daily for 3 days. No need of antibiotics now.
With these measures, he will be fine in 3 days. If not, we can evaluate further and manage accordingly.
I hope this answer will help
