My 19 month old has a bad cough. It s a wet cough that finished in a wheezing noise like he s trying to suck in air. He had a high fever three days ago. I took him to clinic and the doctor examined him. He said all was OK with his lungs, his ears and his throat. My son continues to have a slight fever (39.5)... should I bring him back. When he is on Advil he plays well and less sleepy than before but the cough is making me nervous.
Hello, It could be an upper respiratory tract infection. Allergic cough is another possibility. As there is a fever, antibiotics can be started empirically. Consult a pediatrician and he will direct you accordingly. A chest X-ray and blood routine has to be done as a preliminary investigation. Stalin syrup can be given according to the body weight. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.
