Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children3 years agoA. 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 expectorant bronchodilators or antitussives medicine which koshould be given only after a proper evaluation by the doctor according t ggo the type of cough.
if fever is there paracetamol can be given to reduce the fever and the dose can be repeated after 6 hours again if required .

POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy3 years agoA. Teaching kids to “dab,” or sneeze into their elbow, is a good one to start with. Alcohol-based hand sanitizer can also fill in when they're at the park and a sink is not available. As for strengthening your child's immunity, getting plenty of sleep and physical activity, and eating a balanced diet are your best bets.
