Suggest Treatment For A Painful Blister On The Lip And Bad Cough

Hi, my 14 yr. old son has been ill for 2 weeks...his symptoms have been a fever, bad cough and blowing nose very often. His glands have been somewhat swollen, he has a blister on his lip and his eyes look like he hasn't slept even though he has slept...dark circles under his eyes too. We have used medicine, natural juices/foods, cool mist vaporizer, Vicks. Thank you for reading this.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain the symptoms of cold and cough along with fever and fatigue can be due to either upper respiratory tract infection or can be due to Influenza or flu..
Bump on lip can also be due to infection and will resolve once the infection subside..
As both are viral infections therefore as the virus will complete its cycle symptoms will improve..
You can give Tylenol to relieve fever, Advil to relieve generalized pains and aches,saline nasal irrigations to decongest the nose, doing warm saline gargles, steam inhalations and using humidifier can further help..
You can give him plenty of water, semisolid diet and sufficient rest..
Chewing a Vitamin C pellet can help in boosting immunity..
Avoid spicy and chilled foods..
Give cough suppressant syrup to reduce cough..


Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
