Suggest Treatment For Cough And Fever
My husband had a bad cough two weeks ago and was taking Sudafed for the sinus drainage and Nyquil at night. It all subsided. Yesterday the cough came back and he is running a fever. It also looks like he has a sunburn on his face, chest, arms and back. He sent me to the store to get the Nyquil Muscous control stuff. What should I do, take him to the doctor?
