Cough/cold: Please treat pain symptoms with something like Tylenol (acetaminophen) or Ibuprofen to help him feel better. I like your choice for cough med - sometimes though, nothing works for coughs, They need to cough to clear increased mucous. Humidity will often help if irritation in airways, so take him in shower and spend 15-30 minutes in the steam. Push a lot of fluids. If short of breath or high fever, to see doctor.

My three year old son has had a fever for the last two nights. His head is the only part of his body that gets hot. He also has a wet cough and says that his body is sore. Is this just flu or should I be more concerned?

I've been medicating my 6 yo son for about two weeks with Acc200, Sinumax syrup, sinex nasal spray, prospan, rinex, and nothing seems to get rid of the cough and runny nose. I started nebulising with Acc200 this morning. What else can I try?
