#AskTheExpert Good Morning Sir. My kid has started coughing and developed fever which went upto 102° but we gave Ibugesic 5 ml in the night as prescribed by his doctor last time and there is no fever now. But he's uncomfortable, not crying just cranky. What should we do ? Both me and my husband had fever and bad throat and got ourselves tested COVID negative.
