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 medicitjne directly gets dilivered in the respiratory tract.
Also ifd fever is there paracetamol can be given to reduce the fever and the dose is 15 mg/ kg body weight and can be repeated after 6 hours again if required .
Home remedies like Tulsi & ginger mix in honey can be tried for soothing.

RashmiMom of a 10 yr 11 m old girl1 Year agoA. You should also try to nebulise their child with a regular saline water that’s going to be helpful and still even after that if the problem continues then you should check with your Pediatrician as there could be an allergic reaction which is why this is not subsiding as of now
