18month old son has fever and a bad cough what must i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You decide: Both are common occurrences for age & the range of options varies. If the kid can be comforted & fever controlled by simple fever meds that is the first step. It the illness interferes with his ability to take fluids/eat & play occasionally it is more worrisome than if not. If the illness spooks you take him in. Otherwise keep him well hydrated until it improves or worsens enough to be seen.
