A member asked:
My 2 year old is coughing like an old man with a high temperature. do we need to see a doctor or can we treat fever meds and cough meds?

Other symptoms: Often the best gauge of illness severity is the effect on the kid. If otherwise playful, feeding well and interacting with others you can try home care. If the kid has little interest in play, is not eating and drinking or lays around it is more worrisome. It sounds like he could be either from your post.
