Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your son is having recurring fever, cough with mucus and vomiting which is because your child is suffering from viral infection. It could be due to infection of upper respiratory tract infection as well. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to visit pediatrician once and get complete examination done. You should go for blood and sputum tests. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics along with decongestants. You should give antipyretics to your son for fever relief such as calpol, paracetamol or adol suppositories acetaminophen. Gargle with saline water . Give steam inhalation to child. Use mist humidifiers in room. If fever increases do tepid sponging as well with cold water. Give throat lozenges as well. Give child multivitamin tablets.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
