Any Suggestion For Kid Suffering From Cough And Fever?
My one year old son has cough, and fever. He has had very excessive drooling now developing. Went to the doctor monday and they said its viral. His cough is getting looser like the phlegm is hacking. Hi fever has ranged from 100 to 103 these past 48 hours

Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
Viral infections are the most common cause of upper respiratory tract infections.The drooling may occur if he is experiencing difficulty swallowing because of a sore throat and/or nasal congestion (therefore mouth breathing).
Since he now has a wet cough, the use of mucolytic to help break up the mucus would be helpful. These are available over the counter.
Your local pharmacy maybe able to help you to determine what is available in your area.
I hope this helps
