Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Chronic Cough Followed By High Fever And Appetite Loss?
Hello, my three year old has been coughing for about 2 weeks and suddenly yesterday developed a high fever of over 101 degrees, I have been administering Tylenol to ease the fever. What could be wrong with him. And he has zero appetite today though I have kept him hydrated with fluids.
This can be due to viral or bacterial infection. Do lab test, x-ray chest and urine examination and consult a physician for further management and keep him/her hydrated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Bhadresh Lakhani
