#asktheexpert my kid has persistent cough for 2 month...sometimes it's gone for 7 days ..10 days and again cough started

A. If your 6-year 9-month-old girl has a persistent cough, start by checking if it’s dry or with mucus, and whether it worsens at night or after activity. Common causes include viral infections, allergies, asthma, or post-nasal drip. Keep her hydrated with warm fluids like soup or warm water with honey (if over 1 year). Use steam inhalation and avoid cold or fried foods temporarily. If the cough lasts more than 10–14 days, or if she has difficulty breathing, chest pain, wheezing, or fever, consult a pediatrician to rule out allergies, asthma, or sinus infection. A proper diagnosis will guide the right treatment. Would you like home remedies or food suggestions for faster relief?
