A member asked:

My son is three years old with heavy cough, mild fever, gunky eyes, clogged nose, and this is going on third day. what is wrong with him?

Infection: Sounds like a sinus infection. If the"gunk" is yellow/green he may need oral antibiotics. See a pediatrician.

Viral infection: Your description sounds like viral infection. Keep him hydrated, oral anti-fever meds as needed, clean mucus and crusting off lids with warm washcloth. If worsens or no improvement, see a pediatrician.
