Child Suffering From Cold, Cough, Vomiting, Red Spots On Face And Inflamed Eye. Proper Diagnosis?

Hello Doctor, My son, who is 1 year and 6 months old, is suffering from common cold for the past 4 days. Below are the symptopms we are observing. 1) Common cold. 2) Cough 3) Vomitting mucus when he has cough(he does not know to spit the mucus out) 4) Minor red spots (couple of those) on the face (he gets this when he ctaches cold) 5) Inflammation in the portion above and below his eyes. One of the eys has slightly narrowed. Please note that the cold has started subsiding and he does not have running nose now. However, mucus is still there. After reviewing the symptoms, could you please provide a diagnosis for his disease. Regards, Nandakumar

Hi,THanks for your query , child is suffering from severe coughing and fever, your pediatrician may recommend the use of prescription medications to treat the symptoms. Do not use over-the-counter cough suppressants or expectorants without consulting your pediatrician. Severe infections that can cause coughing and fever such as pneumonia need immediate medical attention to prevent severe and possible fatal complications.
more detail consult pediatrician.
