Brief Answer:
Common cold
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Can understand your concerns.
Cough for two days which has increased suggest that child has probably got common cold.
Ambrodil-s or s-mucolite will be more suitable in this scenario.
In my opinion, 5 ml three times a day for 3 days will be good. If there is no improvement in 24 hours then get child examined by a doctor as antibiotic needs to be started.
I hope this will help you.
Wishing your child good health.
Take care.

Thanks doctor for your advice, there is improvement in her cough condition.
We stopped giving her milk from last two days thinking that might exaggerate cough, can we start giving her milk now?
She still have some cough left and it comes occasionally. How long we should continue giving Ambrodil-s? should we stop after 3 days or we can continue for 5 days also?
Please advice.

Milk can be given

Hi,
Welcome once again.
There is no relation of milk intake with common cold. You can give milk. You just have to avoid cold water, cold drinks, ice-cream and other cold food items.
If there is improvement then ambrodil-s can be given for 5 days but if symptoms persists then get child examined by a doctor.
Take care.
