cough needs to be treated with anti allergic and expectorant bronchodilators or antitussives medicine f which should be used once a proper evaluation by the doctor is done and according to the type of cough its prescribed.
if any fever is therve paracetamol can be given to reduce the temperature and the dose can be repeated again after 6 hours if required .
