High fever & bad throat
My father is having high fever (103.2) this morning and has bad throat. Fever started from yesterday. Today being Sunday, our Dr is not available. Have given him 'crocin' and 'Allrite' and 'honeytus' for his cough. Do I need to change the medicines?

Hello.. Well you can continue the medicines for now...you can add on salt water gargling atleast 3 times a day and have warm water and food..you can consult the doctor at the earliest of his availability as once he needs to be examined to rule out any lower respiratory tract infection and other causes too..
