Hello dear, The symptoms as mentioned in your post suggest that your husband & mother are having Tracheo-bronchial allergy. Management includes: 1. Antihistamine preparations like Allegra & Cough expectorant syrup for symptomatic relief. 2. Montelukast preparation at night as a maintenance therapy. 3. A course of antibiotics may be taken to prevent secondary bacterial attack. 4. Maintain adequate hydration & a healthy balance diet. 5. Warm salt water gargle & steam inhalation. 6. Also make sure that they are well protected from cold, dust & other allergens. Tynol or Ibuprofen can provide symptomatic relief from fever. But the underlying cause needs to be treated. Wishing them a good health. Take care.
