Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have symptoms of cough and fever which is mainly because of poor and compromised immunity of body and increased susceptibility of getting infected due to lower respiratory tract infection.
Need not to worry about it. I would suggest you to avoid giving child cold carbonated beverages and outside food. Give child proper rest without any discomfort. Give water after every few mins. Symptoms resembling flu and normally takes 3 days for fever to go. Visit pediatrician once and get it examined. You should go for chest X-ray, blood and sputum test of child if symptoms exaggerating. If it is bacterial infection start with proper course of antibiotics. Till then give child crocin every 4 hrly.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
