My twin boys who will be three in May have had a low grade fever, 99.8 was the highest, and a NASTY cough during the day and at night for 4 days now. Should I take them in? Would they have been vaccinated for whooping cough? Appetite is LOW and tonight one vomitted (sounded like he chocked) and threw up a little.
His per your country vaccination program they should get vaccinated for whooping cough at age 6,10,14 weeks followed by 18 month dose by now. Current fever & cough suggest upper respiratory tract infection. Give him humidified air(Take a commercial humidifier or give from a boiling pot of water with due precaution), honey based syrup, plenty of warm liquid. Get him evaluated for throats inflammation to know whether he needs antibiotic.
