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

RashmiMom of a 11 yr old girl1 Year agoA. Maxtra you can give to the child twice in a day and along with that also I would advise you that you give nebulisation to the child with saline water that’s going to help in melting down the congestion that your child has a nose and throat along with that the chest congestion will also reduce
