Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children2 years agoA. Cough along with Cold and fever most of the time is a viral illness or allergic and it needs supportive care along with proper hydration needs to be maintained. you can give steam inhalation which may be useful .
cough needs to be treated with medicine like anti allergic expectorant bronchodilators antitussives or cough suppresents medicine which should be given only after a proper evaluation by the doctor according to the type of cough and need.
In severe cough nebulisation can be given where medicine directly gets dilivered in the respiratory tract.
Also if fever is there paracetamol can be gicxven to reduce the fever and the dose is 15 mg/ kg body weight and can be repeated after 6 hours again if required .
Home remediegs like Tulsi & ginger mix in honey can be tried for soothing.

you both need to maintain good hydration throughout the day
drink Luke warm water at regular intervals of 2 or 3 hours.
take indirect steam inhalation.
it is best to take mixture of jeggary , pinch of turmeric powder and dry ginger powder in one tsp quantity twice in a day.
