My son is 10 years old and has been running a low grade fever for 3 days but it is in the mornings and after we give him tylenol, he doesnt have it again til the next morning.  He started out with a scratchy throat that has been sore, stuffy nose, sneezing, and he has been complaining mostly about his eyes hurting.  Do I need to carry him to the doctor or just give him over the counter meds?  Thanks, Marla Keenum
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint it seems that your son are suffering from upper respiratory tract infection, also known as Common Cold and the symptoms of sore and scratchy throat, stuffy nose, sneezing and fever are due to it. As it is a viral infection it will not resolve once the virus will complete its cycle in human body. As of now you can start giving him supportive treatment to relieve the symptoms like
