A. 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 agnd can be repeated aftcer 6 hours again if required . Home remedies like Tulsi & ginger mix in honey can be tried for soothing.

A. Yes allergy is very common with kids these days and this could be due to definitely an allergic reaction so if you feel Ayurveda is going to treat it from the root itself then that is very good otherwise I would definitely advise you to go for a homeopathic treatment
