Hi,

Both Father and son getting similar symptoms although milder in son can be due to the following reasons:
- Viral fever causing sore throat, fever and constitutional symptoms.
- Better to take Ibuprofen and Paracetamol separately and cetirizine not as a combined medicine as the doses and duration are different for these medicines.
- The combination limits the frequency with which every medicine is o be take,
- Take rest.
- Use nasal drops such as Otrivin for nasal decongestion.
- Your son also may need similar treatment but the doses will depend upon the age and weight of your son.
- Steam inhalation.
- Complete the course till cured.
- Plenty of warm liquids. to maintain hydration.
- I hope you both will recover fast and enjoy the outing as planned.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, ENT & General Surgeon
