#asktheexpert Good Afternoon Dr,
Is it common for kids to get cold most of the times. He had a cold in summer and now it is rainy so no question.
He will have a running nose most of the times, sometimes blocked nose, sometimes sneezing but no cough.
Sometimes if there is a block, we give saline drops or Sinarest if there is too much running nose.
If he has a cough, we give medicine.

Accepted Answer

it is in diagnosis of allergic cough cold .
here the child will have regular cough and cold which is usually not associated with fever .
it increases and decreases but does not get cured completely.
dr will give anti allergic medicine usually motelukast / levocetirizine. if its still not improving the next line ofd treatment will be inhaler therapy with mdi / nebulizer.
allergy can be environmental (temperature variation -hot to cold weather/ cold water intake / dust / smoke / pollens) , food , chocolate / packet preservatives food and swezet food also.
body cannot sustain such allergic changes leading to cough cold usually at evening /night and morning.
