A member asked:

What illness do these symptoms of new fever with a cough represent?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Fever and cough: Fever plus cough could very well just be a cold of other viral infections. If your symptoms get worse, rule out pneumonia. Nowadays, there's been an increase in incidence of whooping cough which could also be a cause. Please consult your doctor if you feel worse.
