Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children2 years 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 the dose is 15 mg/ kg body weight and can be repeauited after 6 hours again if required .
Home remedies like Tulsi u& ginger mix in honey can be tried for soothing.

Is a lot of cases this could be due to an allergic reaction also so try to find out that first what is the allergy that their secondly on a regular basis at is three times in the day I would recommend you to give ginger juice and honey make sure that’s going to be really very helpful in this case
