Dear parent,
fever ,cough and loose stools in a child suggests acute gastroenteritis mostly viral because of multi system involvement. u can use paracetamol and cough syrup. please give him syr zinc 2.5ml or 10mg once daily for 10days and oral rehydration solution 25 to 50ml after each loose stool. It takes 48hrs to 72hrs for everything to settle down. meanwhile if the child is not taking orally , not passing urine, excessive cry or irritability please consult nearby hospital.
