Hello
Welcome in H.C.M.
Regarding your query for fever, cough and phlegm of your son for last 3 - 4 days. He had been given calpol but his problem is still there.
Most likely your son is having viral fever with respiratory tract infection. I would like to tell you that with concent of your treating doctor you may add following in his treatment-
1- Steam inhalation and warm saline gargling.
2- Anti histaminic and decongestant.
3- Antibiotic (preferably broad spectrum).
I hope above will be helpful for you.
Regards.
