How Can High Fever And Chest Congestion Be Treated?
My 11 year old daughter has had a high fever all day, slight congested cough and a small reduction in her appetite. No other symptoms feels better with other meds and fever lowers from 104 to 101.2. Not sure if I should take her to the Er or try to let it pass. NKDA Only chronic illness was when she was a baby, she had tubed put in her ears.

Hi,
Let your daughter take rest. Eat light nourishing food (a small amount more frequently) give her paracetamol for kids three to four times a day after food & coscopin paediatric syrup Half spoon with warm water three times in a day.
In case there is no relief in 5 days. Take her to a physician for antiviral medication.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
