What Is The Remedy For Severe Cold, Cough And Fever In 18 Months Old?

Hi my18 months old child has cough cold like symptoms and temperature for 6 days today. We have seen do or twice first when temp was quite high first two days and then in about 4 days when the cough got worse. They said it's. Upper airway infection but I am worried is it normal for the temperature which is now about 37.4 -37.6 to linger for nearly a week and his cough is not any better. Gets worse at night.he is taking Nurofen syrup for babies to keep the temperature lower.thanks

Hi,
From history it seems that your child might be having bacterial infection and might require one antibiotic medicine course for 3-5 days.
Consult your doctor and get examined.
Ok and take care.
