Suggest Treatment For Acid Reflux, Cough And Fever In A Child
My 1 and a half year old son has had a cough for the past few days, but now keeps waking up tonight with burping and passing gas and feels a bit feverish. I gave him a teaspoon of ibuprofen at 1:20am central time and put him back to bed. Could it be something he ate with the fever and gas? Should I be concerned?

Good morning
Start the child on paracetamol initially only when fever is there .
If fever is increasing you can make it thrice daily.
For cough if it is mild use Luke warm water to soothen it. Only if it is increasing go on for some dry cough syrup.
The acid reflux is mostly due to increased secretions with cough , no medications need be given for it separately.
