Hi, my son is 2 years old, from 4 days to he has suffering high temperature 103.5f and chesty cough, difficult to breath. Checked with doctors say his chest looks clear no chest infection. He has viral fever and prescribed to him antibiotics and Calpol & ibuprofen to eat every 4 hours, follow up all things properly but his fever not going down. Nothing any improvement. Little bit worried. Can suggest me what should I do ?
