Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children4 years agoA. Cough in a child could be allergic , infective or due to some other cause like GERD so it needs proper evaluation before giving any medication .
as a first line of treatment,you can give steam inhalation to the child for the improvement before consulting your doctor.
any home remedies are of limited help in this. if it is infection, mild or severe,it requires proper treatment under medical guidance.self medication is not advised.for cold, steam inhalation can be given as the first step to relieve nasal congestion and for easy breathing,nasal saline drops like nasoclear can also be put in the nose and repeated many a times as it is harmless n helps in clearing blockage .
for proper medication doctor should be consulted as indications of any medicine can be decided only after proper evaluation and diagnosis.for now you can give maxtra or ascoril flu in proper dose.
