Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My 8 year old son has had a fever since yesterday afternoon. I ve been getting his ibuprofen and even with it, it s still 103. He has a really congested cough, that he says makes it hard to breathe through his mouth (but he can breathe fine through nose) he s been laying down on the couch since yesterday afternoon. Should I take him to urgent care or wait until tomorrow if his condition doesn t worsen?
