Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of hacking cough, diarrhea and intermittent fever which is because of severe viral infection/upper respiratory tract infection. Need not to worry. I would suggest take diet rich in fruits rich in vitamin C as it will boost his immunity. You should start with course of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. Steam inhalation is another treatment option for resolving it. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit ENT specialist once and get it examined and start proper course of antibiotics. Go for complete blood count and platelet count to rule out any hidden systemic pathology. Giving warm chicken soup and lemon tea is very useful for this. Do warm saline gargles 3-4 times a day with lukewarm water. Avoid giving cold beverages. Take diet rich in probiotics.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
