Suggest Treatment For Intermittent Fever And Severe Cough In Child
my son had fever since last thursday, and we took him to doctor. He also had very bad cough. Doctor said he had upper respiratory infection. He prescribed medicine ; Chlo w/Hydro8 10 mg/5ml S and told to give tylenol 500 mg 2 tablets every 6 hours. His fever is coming and going. He is feeling better compare to last Friday, but he is having very bad headache in backside of head and now cough has blood coming out with mucus. So, I do not know what to do?
