Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your husband have symptoms of fever and cough which is mainly because of lower respiratory tract infection and it could be due to granular pharyngitis. It seems to be due to compromised immunity of body. Need not to worry about it. Symptoms resembling flu and normally takes 3 days for viral fever to go. Visit general physician once and get it examined. Levofloxacin and Tylenol is a safe combination to use. If cough is exaggerating go for chest X-ray, blood and sputum test of your husband. If it is bacterial infection start with proper course of antibiotics. Till then give crocin 4 hourly. Acetaminophen is also effective and you can give that as well. Give your father proper rest without any discomfort. Give water after every few mins.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
