Pediatrician,  's  Response
hi, most probably your child is suffering from upper respiratory tract infection. For fever you can give paracetamol syrup 15 milligram per kg 3 times a day and for cough you can give cough syrup like chericof 5 ml 3 times a day. you have to take some precautions like avoid cold water, avoid cold temperature, use warm clothes. give soft diet to child. A fever persists, respiratory distress occurs, decreased feeding, or vomiting occurs then you should get the child examined by doctor as antibiotic needs to be given. Take care.
