A. it takes time to totally go away whenever you are taking any medicine which has been given by your doctor you have to wait and watch for three days and follow the instructions given by the doctor and if there is no improvement after three days then take a follow up. so kindly take a follow up with your doctor who will tell you whether any change in medicine or any other investigation is needed or not .

A. Sometimes congestion still stays which is why coughing can happen again if You Are okay with nebulising the child you can ask your doctor will help you with the medication with that once you start nebulising you will see that the congestion is going to reduce and the child is going to be better
