Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have symptoms of cough, cold and fever which is mainly because of lower respiratory tract infection and it could be poor and compromised immunity of body. Need not to worry about it. You should visit pediatrician once and get it examined and you should go for chest X-ray, blood and sputum test of child. Give child proper rest and give water after every few minutes to rehydrate body of child. Start with proper course of antibiotics along with antiinflammatory medications. Give child steam inhalation.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
