Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your infant have symptoms of persistent high fever and cough which could be due to viral infection, infectious mononucleosis, sinusitis and respiratory tract infection. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to visit general physician once and get it examined. You should go for blood and urine tests for confirmation of diagnosis. Drink plenty of water. Take antibiotic along with cough expectorant and NSAIDs such as Ibuprofen for 3-5 days. Chew vitamin C pellet daily. Take multivitamin tablet as well to booster immunity. Avoid excessive oily food and cold beverages.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
