A. This can occur due to either allergy or infection and some times due to climate changes around child. For cold / running nose give syp allegra 5 ml twice daily to the child. (Helps in decreasing running nose and cold) Prevent temperature variations around the child and give nasal saline drops every three hourly for nasal congestion and block. For wet coughing you can give syrup ascoril LS 5ml twice daily to the child Indirect steam help in decreasing coughing For fever and pain give paracetamol Go for home remexdies like Tulsi Ginger honey diluted with water combination and turmeric with milk at least 2 times per day. Give warm water to drink.

A. For a persistent cough with mucus in a four-year-old, it's important to ensure the treatment is appropriate and effective. Mucolytic syrups like Muco-Light can help thin and loosen mucus, making it easier to expel. However, persistent coughs lasting more than a week should be evaluated by a doctor to rule out any underlying conditions, such as a respiratory infection or asthma. Here are some general steps you can take: 1. **Hydration**: Ensure your child drinks plenty of fluids to help thin the mucus. 2. **Humidifier**: Using a cool-mist humidifier in your child's room can help keep the air moist and reduce coughing. 3. **Saline Drops and Suction**: For nasal congestion, saline drops and a nasal aspirator can help clear mucus from the nasal passages. It's crucial to consult your pediatrician before continuing or starting any new medication, even over-the-counter options. Your doctor can provide the most appropriate treatment based on your child's specific symptoms and health status. If the cough persists or worsens, seek medical attention promptly.
