Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... I have a 19 month old son with runny nose, congestion and coughing for the past five days. He s not eating and drinking very little fluids. The good thing is their s urine in his diapper probably same amount of his intake. He s cough is getting worst and congestion. No fever but weak probably due to congestion and no food and small amount of fluids. Should I be alarmed?

Hi, welcome to HCM. This is most probably lower respiratory tract infection. You need to get the child examined by a doctor as soon as possible. Take care.
