What Causes Severe Cough Along With Fever?
My son started a croupy sounding cough on Thursday, no other symptoms. On Friday the cough became worse, and he developed a mild temp 99.1 to 99.7, so I took him to urgent care. Doc said it was just a cold. The rest of Friday and Saturday he was fine, with only a mild cough. It was Sunday evening that his temp spiked to 102.5. I gave him ibuprofen and it went back down to 99.1. Now he s fine again. Should I be worried?

HI
Well come to HCM
Symptoms may be due to viral infection with allergic constitution and this can be well treated with symptomatic medicine alone only if the symptoms are severe or unbearable otherwise this could be self limiting condition, you need to wait for some time if it is not get well then may need clinical examination and investigation, take care.
