Question
The child has been having a fever and coughing, along with a runny nose for 4 days.
Answer
You can use fever-reducing medications containing ibuprofen or paracetamol to manage the fever. In cases of viral infection, the fever usually lasts for 5 days until the virus transmission is suppressed and body temperature returns to normal. In the meantime, you can alternate between the two fever-reducing medications when the child has a fever.
