###Human: How can fever and a continuous dry cough be treated in a kid? ###Assistant: Hello. Your child is having viral upper respiratory tract infection. His fever will subside in another two days. Viral fevers last for five to seven days. A cough will remain for a few days. I suggest instead of giving syrup Levolin (Levosalbutamol/Levalbuterol), nebulize him with 1.2 mg of Levolin every six hours. This is a much lower dose than syrup and acts on lungs directly.  Apart from this, use syrup Benadryl (Syrup Diphenhydramine, Ammonium Chloride, Sodium Citrate) 5 mL thrice daily. Make him drink warm water, give him lozenges, and one teaspoon of honey in the morning and evening. This will take care of his problems.
