Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have symptoms of cold, cough and fever which seems to be due to upper respiratory tract infection or poor immunity of body.

Need not to worry. Avoid intake of cold carbonated beverages. Avoid intake of sharp spicy food. You should apply mist humidifiers in room and take throat lozenges. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper prescription. You can go for blood and sputum tests as well. You should take proper course of antibiotics along with anti inflammatory medications. You should maintain oral hygiene. Do warm saline gargles.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
