Hi Lynece,
Thank you for your query.
You have done the right thing by giving your son Tylenol and uncovering him. You can continue giving Tylenol 5 ml. 4-6 hrly. if the temperature is above 99F by side. By the way, Tylenol is for fever and not cough. If the fever does not come to normal in the next 24 hours then it is advised to consult your doctor who shall examine your son, the swollen lips, pharynx and chest and start appropriate medications.
I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.
Wishing your son a speedy recovery.
Regards,
RKK

Hi Lynece,
Thank you for your query,
You child ailment is looking like Viral fever and continue Tylenol every 6 th hourly depending on the presence of fever, and do tepid sponging if there is high grade fever and try to give adequate oral fluids.
And consult your Pediatrician for examination and for specific management.
