How To Treat Chest Infection With Fever In Small Kids?
My 18 month son has a chest infection and has really watery eyes and a high temperature, we got our doctor to look at him this morning but he said he has just a chest infection. He is really cranky, tired and warm to touch. What should we do. We think he has got worse since this morning.

Your child is probably suffering from viral infection. Ask your doctor to prescribe medications like paracetamol, decongestants, nembulisation, expectorants etc. for symptomatic relief.
If condition does not improve your doctor may advice you for blood tests like CBC, X-ray chest etc.
