What Causes Cough And Runny Nose With Upper Respiratory Tract Infection?

my 13 month old was diagnosed with an upper respiratopry infection a week and a half ago. After a few days, the coughing and the runny nose subsided. However, Just yesterday, his nose started running and he s coughing again. Today, he has a 100.4 temperature. Could it still be the URI, or something more?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, possibility of upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) is more for his symptoms.
Viral infection is the most common cause for such recurrent URTI s.
So better not to worry much.
Give him plenty of fluids orally and keep himself hydrated.
Give influenza vaccine to prevent recurrent viral infection.
Don't worry, he will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your son. Thanks.
