Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your child is having red lumps along with fever and congested cough which seems to be due to allergic reaction to certain allergen. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to visit pediatrician once and go for blood and sputum test first and get it examined. Get chest X-ray done. Start treatment after proper diagnosis. Take steam inhalation as well. You should take cough expectorants. You should take antihistamine such as Benadryl or Chlorpheniramine along with Amoxicillin. Use vaporizers rub. Use room humidifiers as well to prevent any allergic reaction to child. You should take combination of anti allergic and antihistamine medications for immediate relief. Sip on warm water. Avoid cold carbonated beverages.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
