Suggest Treatment For Cough, Runny Nose And Fever In Child

My son developed a slight cough a few days ago and has had a runny nose but otherwise has been his normal happy self..showing fatigue as of yesterday(sunday). Right now he is asleep with a fever (unsure of what it is but he is warm to the touch) . Should we seek help or let him rest and wait until morning. We do not want to overreact but his friends brother did have the enterovirus a few weeks ago and was hospitalized. Thank you.

Hi,
It seems that he might be having respiratory tract infection.
Now after few days problem persisted with having fever indicates that there might be having bacterial infection and he might require one antibiotic medicine course.
Some blood work is to be carried out.
consult your doctor and get examined.
Give light diet with enough fluids.
Ok and take care.
