cough needs to be treated with anti allergic and expectorant bronchodilators or antitussives medicine which should be used once a proper evaluation by the doctor is done and according to the type of cough its prescribed.
if any r fever is there paracetamol can be given to reduce the temperatureg and the dose can be repeated again after 6 hours if required .
