I have a six year old with a virus, running a temperature of 102.3 with Tylenol, Motrin and childrens cough medicine on board. The biggest issue that is not currently controllable is her unproductive constant cough. Any suggestions. The virus started yesterday AM. The room is not overly dry.
Cough and cold with fever is most often caused due to certain viral infections. Tylenol is effective in relieving fever. Motrin (Ibuprofen) should be given only if Tylenol is not effective in reducing temperature. Child Chat Doctor.  Rather give some anti-allergic syrup like levocetirizine as there is generally an allergic component involved. Give steam inhalation. Water in the form of vapor will reach deep into the lungs and help in relieving the cough by making it productive.
