Suggest Treatment For Cough And Runny Nose In A Child

Hi , I have a 2 1/2 year old daughter. She has a bad cough and runny nose , but clear . I went to CVS and bought the Hyland s 4 kids , cold n cough medicine for her . I gave her one tea spoon 5ml . 2 hours later she developed a fever . Now I have childrens motrin as a fever reducer , I am not sure if I give her the motrin now since she has already taken the cold n cough medicine 2 hours ago it will hurt her or should I wait 2 more hours until the other wears off to give her the motrin to reduce her fever .

Hi...you need not wait...you can give her fever medicine every 4-6th hourly if the temperature is more than 100F. There is no interaction between cold and fever drugs. Nothing to worry about.
