Hi... this manifestations like pink eye,cough and fever are associated with viral illnesses. In your case its good that the fever is under control. Cough takes 5 to 7 days to subside. You can give paracetamol for fever and cough syrup containing chlorpheniramine or dyphinhydramine (in case of dry cough). Also continue with eye drop instillation. The child will be fine.
