Child Having Cough. What Treatment Should Be Done?
Question: I took my 3 year old swimming yesterday, he loves to put his face in the water, now he has a really bad persistent cough
Hi,
Welcome to XXXXXXX
I advice you (your son) for salt water gargling and steam inhalation 3 to 4 times a day. Over the counter cough formulation will be helpful. Follow this he should be fine in 3 to 4 days. If the symptoms persists after 4 days or the severity increases i advice you to visit the child specialist.
Hope I have provided the information you needed.
Wish you good health. Take care.
