POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy7 months agoA. For severe cough in a child, especially after nebulization, it's crucial to first understand the cause, as cough can stem from different underlying conditions like allergies, infections, or asthma. Since nebulization is not providing relief, I recommend checking with your pediatrician to determine if there is any additional treatment required, such as adjusting medications or exploring other causes for the cough.
In the meantime, if the pediatrician approves, here are a few mild and commonly used cough syrups for children:
1. Honey-based syrups (for children over 1 year): These can help soothe the throat and reduce coughing. Brands like Pediatric Honey or PediaCare Honey Cough Syrup are often recommended.
2. Cough syrups containing Diphenhydramine: These can be helpful in cases where allergies or post-nasal drip is causing the cough. Brands like Benadryl Cough Syrup are commonly used for children (check age appropriateness).
3. Herbal Syrups: If your pediatrician approves, syrups with ingredients like Tulsi (holy basil), Pineapple Extract, or Ginger might help. Patanjali Honey Tulsi Drops is one such option.
Make sure you consult your doctor before giving any syrup, especially if your daughter is under 1 year of age, as certain ingredients may not be safe for young children. Additionally, if the cough persists or worsens, further medical investigation might be needed.
