POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy9 months agoA. For a 2.9-year-old child with a cough and cold, here’s a general approach:
1. Safe Medication Options
CulpriL Syrup (Ambroxol/Levosalbutamol-based):
This is commonly used for wet cough to help loosen mucus.
Dosage: Usually 2.5 mL twice daily for children under 3 years. However, confirm with your pediatrician.
Canberry Flu Syrup:
Often contains ingredients like chlorpheniramine and phenylephrine to reduce runny nose and congestion.
Dosage: Follow the recommended dose based on the syrup's label or as advised by the doctor.
Paracetamol Syrup (if fever is present):
Dosage: 10–15 mg/kg every 4–6 hours, but do not exceed the maximum daily dose.
2. Non-Medication Remedies
Use saline nasal drops to clear the nasal passages.
Offer warm fluids like soup, honey water (for children above 1 year), or turmeric milk to soothe the throat.
Use a cool mist humidifier in her room to prevent dryness.
Elevate her head slightly while sleeping to ease congestion.
3. When to See a Doctor
Persistent cough for more than a week or worsening symptoms.
Breathing difficulty, chest pain, or high fever.
Cough with wheezing or barking sounds.
Thick green or yellow mucus for several days.
Important Notes:
Always check the syrup label for the active ingredients to avoid overlap and overdosing.
Consult your pediatrician to confirm the correct dosage based on your child’s weight and health.
Avoid self-medicating with antibiotics unless prescribed by a doctor.
