Runny nose, wet cough and secretions in the throat. What can you do about it?
33-year-old woman
My 2.5 year old son has had a fever for the past 2 days, he is more sullen and has started coughing up a lot. When should I consult and what should I do to help him get better?

Hello,
It is recommended to consult a doctor after 72 consecutive hours of fever. To reduce the fever, the use of Tylenol or Advil can help reduce the temperature
Concerning secretions, Helixia syrup could be a good alternative. This dried ivy based syrup helps liquefy secretions and would therefore help with both her wet cough and her throat.
I hope this answers your question
