What Causes Toothache Along With Fever For A 2 Years Old?

My two year old has a cough, runny nose, fever. He has also complained about his stomach hurting, his eyes and his teeth. He complains more about his teeth right now more then anything. The fever began after he started complaining about his teeth. Should I be concerned or are these symptoms of the cold/flu?

Hi...I feel that this is a simple viral illness with cough and cold. Nothing to worry about it.

for nose block, saline nasal decongestants will do. Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15mg/kg/dose (max ceiling dose 500mg) every 4-6th hourly, that too only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol.
For cold you can use Cetrizine at 0.25mg/kg/dose every 12 hourly for 3 days.
For nasal block, plain saline nasal drops will do, every 4-6th hourly to relive nasal congestion.
