Suggest Treatment For Fever And Cough
Hi, I am glad for this service of consultation you are providing. My 18 months old son has been with feeling regular the past 4 days with not very high fever of 99 - 100 degrees. Today he started coughing as a barking old dog that sounds very scary. His coughing is getting more and more frequent during the night and sounds that he is having problems to breath. What should I do? Thank you so much for your help.

Hi,
It seems that your son might be having viral infection producing productive cough and fever.
Possibility of having bacterial infection is also there.
In this situation one course of antibiotic medicine is advisable as there are chances of pneumonitis is there.
Consult your doctor and get examined.
Ok and take care.
