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 reshhpiratory 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 repeated after f6 hours again if required .
Home remedies like Tulsi & ginger mix in honey can be tried for soothing.

RashmiMom of a 10 yr 11 m old girl1 Year agoA. Either it is some kind of an allergy that your child is suffering from or some kind of a viral infection which is not subsiding totally but with what you mention it is looking like more of an allergy that your child could be suffering from so you can take a homeopathic treatment for that
