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 feverg is there paracetamol can be given to reduce the fever and the dose is 15 mg/ kg body weight and can be repeated after 6 hours again if required .
Home remedies likte Tulsi & ginger mix in honey can be tried for soothing.

keep her well hydrated by giving her a spoon of lukewarm water every hour when she's awake
use simply purified water having tds higher than 350
take sunbathing daily with her head and ears covered
use nebulizer as suggested by your doctor for fast relief
