How To Treat Cough In A 3 Years Old Child?
Yes my son who is 3 is going on a cough/runny nose for a week in a half now. He s in daycare so I m not considered not to mention I m a nurse and he had his 3 year check up last week where the NP said he had a little fluid in his ears, lungs are clear, and it s probably an upper respiratory infection. I just happened to look in his throat just now and noticed small petechiae on the roof if his mouth which I don t think was there before what can this be?

Hi
Thanks for writing to health care magic.
Probably its throat infection
Get throat swab for strep
If positive may need antibiotics like amoxicilin
Wishing your child good health
