My 4 yr old has low grade fever.complaining of a pain on the right side of chest. has an irritation in the throat.relieves by quick dry cough. reason?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Likely a virus: It's probably a virus, although pneumonia/bronchitis or other bacterial infection (sinus infection, strep throat) is not out of the question. Other possibilities include an inflamed rib muscle or a muscle pull from coughing. I'd definitely see your doctor about it.
