[|Human|] My son is 10 years old and has been running a low grade fever for 3 days but it is in the mornings and after we give him tylenol, he doesnt have it again til the next morning.  He started out with a scratchy throat that has been sore, stuffy nose, sneezing, and he has been complaining mostly about his eyes hurting.  Do I need to carry him to the doctor or just give him over the counter meds?  Thanks, Marla Keenum
[|AI|]  Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint it seems that your son are suffering from upper respiratory tract infection, also known as Common Cold and the symptoms of sore and scratchy throat, stuffy nose, sneezing and fever are due to it. As it is a viral infection it will not resolve once the virus will complete its cycle in human body. As of now you can start giving him supportive treatment to relieve the symptoms like:1. Gargle with a warm saline solution that is by mixing 1 teaspoon salt in a glass of water and warm it to make a Luke warm solution.2. Take a combination of decongestant like Phenylephrine, bucolic like Aerosol and anti-allergic levocetrizine and another combination of Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen.3. Do steam inhalations.4. Avoid spicy and chilled foods.5. Sip on warm water throughout the day. Hopefully the symptoms will resolve within a week and if it worsens consult a General Physician and get evaluated. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor.
