Id give him some hot water with some lemon juice and honey in it. Fevers are our defense mechanism and therefore our friend. Your son didn't get the virus/bacteria out of his system as the fever came back. I would recomend not giving him anything to reduce the fever and allow his body to do the job of heating itself up high enough to make his body uninhabitable for viruses and bacteria to survive. Take care

What has the Dr said? How high is his temperature? What kind of cough is it, dry, barking coughing up mucus etc? If he is coughing up mucus what colour is it?

You can leave a low grade fever unmedicated but never leave a very high temperature untreated. I wouldnt let a temperature go above 102 as seizures are far more likely and at 104 I'd be sitting in the emergency room.
