Children who cough and develop a fever in the evening may be experiencing symptoms caused by a respiratory tract infection or a viral cold. If the symptoms are due to a respiratory tract infection, they can be treated with medications such as Cefaclor Granules under a doctor's guidance. If they are caused by a viral cold, antiviral oral solutions, Ribavirin Granules, and other medications may be taken as directed by a healthcare provider to alleviate symptoms.
