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 fevertg is there paracetamol can be given to reduce the fever and the dose is 15 mg/ kg body weight and can be repeated after 6 hours again if required .
Home remfedies like Tulsi & ginger mix in honey can be tried for soothing.

RashmiMom of a 11 yr old girl1 Year agoA. If this is the problem I would suggest you to get an allergy test done for your child that is going to give you a clarity as to what is your child actually actually allergic to and according to that a proper treatment can be suggested I would recommend you to take a homoeopathic treatment for the child but try to that you need to figure out what kind of an allergy is your child going through
