A. thank you doctor for your reply..but i am fearing of side effects..will this Defcort suspension have side effects on my child??

Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children3 years ago

A. Cough along with Cold most of the time is a viral illness and it needs supportive care along with proper hydration. you can give steam inhalation which is very useful . cough needs to be treated with anti allergic and expetctorant bronchodilators or antitussives medicine which should be given only after a proper evaluation by the doctor according to the type of cough. if fever is there paracetamol can hgbe given to reduce the fever and the dose can be repeated after 6 hours again if required .
