Suggest Treatment For Cold And Cough In A Child
![default](/r/images/default.png)
Brief Answer:
ENT check up advised
Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir, thanks for trusting health care magic.
If she has been having recurrent cold and cough with only partial relief then it needs proper evaluation
Get her chest x-ray done and then ENT check up for deviated nasal septum and sinusitis.
In general if above tests are normal then all she needs is prolonged intake of antihistaminics for a month at least and steam inhalation daily.
Get above investigations and then we can discuss further management.
Take care

Brief Answer:
Simple precautions advised
Detailed Answer:
I totally understand mam but you will have to be patient and take all medicines as advised.
She is most likely allergic to the change of temperature and dust and pollen.
So take the precautions as I told you and try to keep her in a regular and constant temperature controlled environment especially avoiding cold beverages and even cold water.
If possible then steam inhalation will also give a lot of relief along with cetrizine tablet as advised.
Allergy testing is also an option but try simple things first.
Also in case you are not getting satisfactory response then visit a good homeopathic doctor and try that once.
Keep your calm dear as it is a simple problem and will be fine soon.
Take care
