Pediatrician 's  Response
Thank you for your consulting to Health care magic.The most common cause of fever is infection: viral, bacterial, fungal. At children we usually differentiate respiratory disease, renal inflammation, intestines infection, teething syndrome, trush. Your child has upper respiratory infection causes by parainfluenza virus.It seems he has laryngotracheobronhitis.
I would suggest you to give your child ambroxole syrup, antihistamine,hot drinks,when temperature is normal-steam inhalation,nasal decongestant spray.
Take care,
Recovery soon
