It is advisable to consult a pediatrician for your son's fever and cough.Applying balm on the neck and chest might provide temporary relief, but it is not a substitute for medical treatment.Regarding washing of hands and face, it is safe to do so with lukewarm water.However, it is important to seek medical attention from a specialist in order to address the underlying condition.
