Why Despite Having Medicine My Son Has Been Coughing And Having Fever With Runny Is It Normal?
Question: My son has been coughing and having fever with runny nose for four days now despite medication. Is it normal Should I do anything more
Brief Answer:
It seems to be a viral illness
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
All the three symptoms i.e. cough, fever and mucous help eliminate the virus from the body. Crying spells also help eliminate the virus. It usually takes 7-10 days to recover from a viral. What medicines are you giving currently? Alongwith, you can give one spoon of honey with a pinch of turmeric and black pepper powder mixed in it . It can be given twice a day for 3 days.
