High fever with cough
My brother got high fever (103 F) for the first 2 days last Week followed by severe cough and sometimes blood also while coughing. After taking antibiotics, fever was in control but not cough. And now he is unable to eat anything due to bitter taste. He already took covishield vaccine last year.
Kindly advice.
