Hi
Thanks for writing to healthcare magic.
Please let us know what medicines have been prescribed before.
Persistent fever and cough for 2 weeks needs complete evaluation to rule out pneumonia. Get chest Xray and mantoux test done ASAP.
It is better to get your child admitted if fever persists
Wishing your child speedy recovery
Regards
Dr Arun
