11 Month Old, Low Grade Fever, Runny Nose, Slight Cough. Taking Motrin, Tylenol. Suggestions?

My 11 month old has a low grade fever (alternating Motrin and Tylenol) with a runny nose and slight cough. I can't send him to daycare due to the fever but don't feel like I need the dr. I am still getting over viral laryngitis. Should I take him in or just continue what I am doing? Also was goin to start men treatments if his cough got worse

Hi,

Thank you for your query.

Your son has contracted infection from you as you are having laryngitis. You can certainly wait for a day or two. You may have to start with some decongestant cough syrup in case cough increases.

I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.

Wishing your son an early recovery.

Regards,
