Hello,
Continue the prescribed medications. Based on the history provided, this appears to be more consistent with a viral fever.
Keep a record of the child’s temperature during fever spikes. If the fever persists for another 2–3 days, blood investigations may be required after evaluation by your paediatrician.
Meanwhile, ensure your child stays well hydrated by encouraging plenty of fluids, and monitor urine output. If there is persistent vomiting, severe abdominal pain, rash, breathing difficulty or if the child appears very unwell, consult your paediatrician immediately.
For the cough, continue the prescribed medicines. You may also give 1 teaspoon of honey to help soothe the throat. Viral coughs often take some time to settle, so gradual improvement is expected. Clean the eye with sterile cloth if you find discharge.

The symptoms are suggestive of a viral infection,which commonly causes cough, fever, and red eyes together. Most children recover with supportive care, but because the fever has been present for 3 days and is reaching 102°F, the child should be re-examined by the pediatrician, especially if breathing becomes fast, the child is less active, or the fever continues beyond 5 days.

Based on the symptoms you have described-cough, fever for 3 days, and red eyes-it sounds more like a viral infection. Viral illnesses in children can commonly cause fever, cough, and conjunctivitis-like redness of the eyes. In most cases, symptomatic treatment (fever medicines, adequate fluids, and rest) is sufficient, and antibiotics are usually not required unless there is evidence of a bacterial infection.
Next Steps
Please continue the medicines prescribed by your pediatrician and monitor your child closely. Most viral infections improve gradually over a few days.
Health Tips
However, please take your child to the hospital or consult your pediatrician again if any of the following danger signs develop:
* Difficulty breathing, fast breathing, or chest retractions.
* Child becomes unusually sleepy, difficult to wake, or is not responding normally.
* Refuses to drink fluids or has significantly reduced urine output.
* Persistent vomiting or inability to keep anything down.
* Fever persists beyond 5 days or becomes very high despite medication.
* Seizures.
* Severe eye pain, swelling around the eyes, or pus discharge from the eyes.
* If the cough worsens significantly or your child looks generally unwell.

Greetings
child's concurrent presentation of a 5-day cough, a 3-day high fever peaking at 102.2°F, and conjunctivitis-like red eyes shares characteristics with common pediatric conditions like adenoviral infection, measles, .The prescribed medications—Sumol 120 (paracetamol for fever/pain), Xpect LS Junior (bronchodilator/mucolytic for wet cough), and Montair LC Kid (antihistamine/leukotriene antagonist for allergy)—address these individual symptoms, but please check the physical labels to verify correct formulations.Because the high fever is persisting despite treatment and is accompanied by red eyes, a definitive evaluation is essential to rule out complications or structural infections like periorbital cellulitis.Please seek immediate emergency medical care if she exhibits any red flags, such as rapid breathing, extreme lethargy, grunting, or severe eye swelling.General supportive care includes keeping her well-hydrated, maintaining a comfortable room temperature, and closely monitoring her fever pattern.
Next Steps
kindly consult doctor in person or online

The combination of cough, fever, and red eyes is most commonly caused by a viral infection, especially adenovirus, but since your child has had fever up to 102.2°F for 3 days, she should be examined again by a pediatrician today to rule out pneumonia, ear infection, or a bacterial eye infection. Continue paracetamol in the correct dose, encourage fluids, and keep the eyes clean. Seek urgent medical attention if she develops breathing difficulty, poor drinking, lethargy, or swelling around the eyes.
