Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

As your son is having fever and cough for last five day, he should be treated with proper medications.

He may require antipyretic syrup like Dolo, Mucolytic syp and Syp Bactoclav which will help to control infection and reduces the fever and cough.

Syrup Zyretec, antihistamine which help to reduce the irritation of the throat and reduces the symptoms of cough. Syp Bremax, broncohodilator which relieves the spasm of the bronchioles and helps to improve the condition of severe cough.

If the symptoms are not improving with this you can give above mentioned drugs by getting the prescription of your paediatrics.
Thank you.
