How Can fever Along With Mild Cough In A Child Be Treated?
My 15 month old daughter has had cold symptoms for a few days. Last night she was ran a fever and has been treated with infant Tylenol all day. Her discharge is now thick, she is lethargic, has a mild cough and suddenly started with the shakes. Should I go to emergency or wait to see a doctor tomorrow?

Hello,
If the child is lethargic outside of the fever episodes you will need to see a doctor asap. If the child is back to her normal self when the fever subsides then very likely there is nothing to worry and you can wait till the next day before she is seen by a doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
