Hi, As per your query you have fever and cough in a child with the positive Manitou test. I would suggest you visit pediatrician once and get a chest X-ray done. You should go for pulmonary function tests along with blood and sputum test first and get it examined. Start treatment after proper diagnosis. Take steam inhalation as well. You should take cough expectorants. You should take an antihistamine such as Ben Chat Doctor.  Use vaporizers rub. Use room humidifiers as well to prevent any allergic reaction to the child. Sip on the warm water. Avoid cold carbonated beverages. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
