Health Q&A
Fever + runny nose + hoarse voice

My baby is 11.5 months old, weighs ~8.6 kg. Fever around 38°C, which comes down after paracetamol but returns after its effect wears off. Baby has a runny nose and initially had 3–4 loose stools, but stools are now normal. Since yesterday, the baby's cry has become hoarse and there is mild “kharr-kharr” noisy breathing even during sleep. Baby is feeding and urinating normally. Please advise whether this is likely a viral infection, laryngitis/croup, or something else, and what treatment is needed. Is Solvin Cold safe at this age?
