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.

Hi,

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.
