<s>[INST] Hi, my 3 yr old son has been runny a igh temp for 5 days now, he has been very tired and just not interested in doing anything, he perked up for the last 2 days but durin the night he woke up several times complaining his legs were hurting, then his fingers and arms. he was also burning up. He has a nasty cough too and in the night it sounds like a bark. He is really not himself and im quite worried. can anyone help in any way, that would be great thanks [/INST] Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.  I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. For fever and body pain give brufen syrup or acetaminophen every 8 hours. For cough give an over the counter cough suppressant and expectorant if fever lasts more than 3 days you might need to give an antibiotic. Rest the child as much as he wants, stick to soft and easy swallowed diet such as yoghurt, soup, and fruits.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,Dr. Salah Saad Shoman </s>
