Hi my dear,
Your symptoms and the signs of your children are related to a common viral infection.
You should drink more water and fluids and give more water and juices to your children too.
I also suggest to keep monitoring the temperature of yours and of your children and record the results for future reference.
If you keep well hydrated, the phlegm will be easily removed. If the cough is unbearable, should start herbal cough treatment.
In case, you and your children will have high fever up to 39 that won't come down, I'd suggest to consult with your doctor as you might need to take oral antibiotics.
Hope it was of help!
