How Can Fever With Chronic Cough And Phlegm Be Treated?
Hi, my 7 month old baby is suffering from a bad cough since last thursday accompanied by a fever. His fever has subsided since but his cough seems to get worst. There seems to be some yellowish greenish phlegms from his nose as well as mouth when he coughs. Today his voice turns croaky. Will his voice get well as soon as he recovers from the cough?

I will like to answer your concern ,your child is most likely suffering from CROUP! it is a viral illness in which there is cough and change in voice as you mentioned already .The yellow green phlegm is also due to virus involving the nose and throat .So you can support your child cough and secretion by having nebulisation (steam inhalation) through a medicine called epinephrine ,you should go to hospital for having this medicine .
