What Should I Do For My 10 Month Old Baby Who Has Fever?
My 10 month old baby has a high temperature and has been listless all day. I took him to see a doctor earlier and he said to keep an eye on him. He has just started with a barking, dry cough and is still very tired (he has slept far more than normal today) and is very hot to touch.

Hello
Fever with dry barking cough is characteristic of laryngeal infection(laryngitis or laryngotracheobronchitis).In most of the cases it is viral infection. Nebulisation with adrenaline along with paracetamol and plenty of fluid is the main treatment.
I would suggest you to get him to emergency room immediately for proper evaluation and management.
