She's 18 months old, about 25lbs, and has a fever and a cough. She refuses to take liquid medicine, so I give her little dissolving baby tylenol tabs for her fever. But I cant get her to take robitussin for her cough. We have even tried holding her down and forcing the medicine in but she just coughs or chokes and it comes flying back out. Any pointers on how to help relieve her fever and/or cough? At what temperature should I become concerned and take her in? I have one of those ear thermomreters but it doesnt seem very accurate. Shes had it for a couple days, and is still feeling good enough to fun around and be onery, so I'm not too worried, but still concerned it may get worse. Thanks for any advice! :)
