What Causes Intermittent Cough Along With Fever And Headache In Children?
My age 8 year old has a temp of 101.7, with an on and off cough and headache. I ve given him fever reducer which dropped it but it comes back after a few hours. This started 24 hours ago. Is this temp dangerous? Should he see his doctor or wait it out and see if he improves?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, most of the time it is the viral infection and you need to wait till it finish the course of disease then everything would be fine, if condition remains as it is then it may need some investigation along with clinical examination, hope this information helps you, take care and have a nice day
