Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children2 years 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 fever is there paracetamol can be gifven to reduce the fbever and the dose is 15 mg/ kg body weight and can be repeated after 6 hours agvain if required .
Home remedies like Tulsi & ginger mix in honey can be tried for soothing.

RashmiMom of a 11 yr old girl2 years agoA. You need to teach your child how to chew the food properly before swallowing it that’s really very important to start doing this you will see the digestion is going to be better than vomiting issues also going to reduce down with that only so you need to go ahead with that often cold and cough happens when a child is suffering with some kind of an allergy
