Hi Dear ,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern.As per your query you have symptoms of face pressure, cough and hacking up post fever and aching body which seems to be due to severe upper respiratory tract infection. It seems to be due to poor and compromised immunity of child. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles with pinch of salt water. Take expectorants. Steam inhalation is very effective for you. Mast cell stabilizers such as sodium cromoglycate is effective to prevent infection. Avoid cold carbonated beverages. Consult pediatrician without any delay. Doctor may order blood test , throat swab test or virus culture test. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics amoxicillin or penicillin at least for 10 days along with decongestants and mucolytic agents.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
