Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children1 Year 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 given to reduce the fever and the dose is 15 mg/ chtkg body weight and can be repeated after 6 hours agaihn if required .
Home remedies like Tulsi & ginger mix in honey can be tried for soothing.

RashmiMom of a 11 yr old girl1 Year agoA. Along with medicines I am going to suggest you to start nebulising the child you should do at least three times in the day with regular saline water and if you want to prefer using medicines then you can check with your doctor for the medicines to be used
