Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have symptoms of cough and fever which is not improving as well after taking medications is due to persistence of respiratory tract infection which is getting chronic and leading to such symptoms. I would suggest you to consult pediatrician without any delay. Doctor may order blood test and get an x ray of the chest done. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics along with decongestants and mucolytic agents. You should take decongestant nasal sprays containing mucinex for instant relief. Steam inhalation is very effective for your infant.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
