Hi doctor,
My 3-year-old son has a very bad cough with fever of 102 degrees Fahrenheit and above. Since one week, the doctor here has given medication Levolin, Ibugesic and Cetzine along with antibiotics. But, there is no improvement. He still has a fever and a bad cough. Please help.

2. The treatment going on is completely perfect. However, I would like to make some changes and additions.
