Answer

Based on your description, your child has a high fever, slight cough, and a sore throat, and is constantly coughing. This could be symptoms of an upper respiratory infection. I suggest you take your child to the hospital for a thorough examination to confirm the diagnosis and receive appropriate treatment. Treatment may include oral administration of Huanglian oral liquid, intravenous injection of cephalosporin antibiotics for inflammation, and nebulizer therapy. Usually, these symptoms can improve quickly.
