In severe cough nebulisation can be given where medicine directly gets dilivered in the respiratory tract. Alshkjo if fever is there paracetamol can be given to reduce the fever and the dose is 15 mg/ kg body weight and can be repeated after 6 hours again if required . Home remedies like Tulsi & ginger mix in honey can be tried for soothing.
