Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have symptoms of severe fever and cough which is mainly because of lower respiratory tract infection. It could be due to poor and compromised immunity of body. Symptoms resembling flu and normally takes 3 days for viral fever to go. Need not to worry about it. I would suggest you to visit pediatrician once and get it examined. If cough is exaggerating go for chest X-ray, blood and sputum test of child. If it is bacterial infection start with proper course of antibiotics. Avoid giving child cold carbonated beverages and outside food. Till then give crocin 4 hrly. Acetaminophen is also effective and you can give that as well. Give child proper rest without any discomfort. Give water after every few mins.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
