Suggest Treatment For Fever And Dry Cough In Baby
My son will be 3 in a month. I just took his temp underarm. It registered 102.8. He is flushed and has not been able to sleep the past 2 nights. He has a very dry sounding cough which is worse at night. He also has little appetite. Should I take him to the dr. or wait it out?

dear parent , I understand your concerns . for fever you should give ibuprofen syrup or acetaminophen syrup every 6-8 hours.for dry cough you should give a cough suppressant as dextromethorphan . you should only offer soft and easily swollen food as soup , yoghurt and jelly
