Hi,
As per your query your baby suffering from cold, cough and fever which is mainly because of lower respiratory tract infection and it could be due to granular pharyngitis.
Need not to worry about it. Symptoms resembling flu and normally takes 3 days for viral fever to go. Visit pediatrician once and get it examined. Tusspel Plus and syp. Dezacor is the right medication but you should give a mild dosage of it to your child. If the cough is exaggerating go for chest X-ray, blood and sputum test of the child. If it is bacterial infection start with a proper course of antibiotics. Till then give crocin 4 hourly. Acetaminophen is also effective and you can give that as well. Give the child a proper rest without any discomfort. Give water after every few mins.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
