Suggest Treatment For Recurrent Cough And Severe Shivering
My daughter has been shivering uncontrollably for two hours, has a bad cough (past few weeks), and severe pressure in her head/sinus area. She also feel nauseous. She does NOT have a fever. She was on an inhaler for her cough last month as well as amoxycillin two weeks ago. Her symptoms seemed to clear after those medications but her cough has slowly returned.
