POOJA KOTHARIExpecting Mom due this month4 months agoA. If your granddaughter Kritika is still having persistent cough, especially in the morning, even after using the doctor-prescribed medicine, it may be due to post-nasal drip, allergies, or mild infection that hasn't fully cleared. Here's what you can do:
At-home care: Steam inhalation (with supervision) before sleep and in the morning. Warm fluids like tulsi water, warm soup, or honey with lukewarm water (only if she is above 1 year). Keep her room dust-free and avoid using strong-smelling products or incense. Medicines to discuss with your doctor:
You can revisit your doctor and ask if she needs:
Levosalbutamol or Montelukast (if it’s allergy-related). Mucolytic syrup like Ambroxol or Bromhexine to loosen the mucus. Antihistamines like Cetirizine if there’s nasal dripping or cold signs.
Since she’s not improving, it’s best to consult the pediatrician again with details of her current symptoms and medicines. A chest check or allergy test may be needed if it continues.
