My 5 months old son has fever and tightness in his chest. what can i get for him? thanks
A doctor has provided 1 answer
An exam: Fever reduction with acetaminophen would be reasonable if high. If not it can run it's course. There is no over the counter medication for "chest tightness" at that age. If it worries you and the kid seems uncomfortable have him examined.
