Hi, Your child seems to have suffered a viral attack which partially abated and then recurred. Since your child is young, I would advise you to take the child to her doctor if he/she becomes breathless, drowsy, or wheezes. In any case you should call up the doctor/support staff so that they are aware of the problem. Meanwhile you can sponge the child and give him/her a cough syrup with Bromhexine and ammonium chloride in it and Tylenol for fever. Regards
