all virals usually are getting better by day 3-4 .now as your babies cough and fever is worsening on day 4 then its all the more prudent to meet a doctor ,you might just be missing something that he might help you with and one thing more these syrups-i mean over the counter cough syrups at times make the respiratory secretions so dry that the childs cough worsens because of giving meds so in such situations actaminophen and honey are better than otc drugs.
