Suggest Treatment For Hoarse Voice And Mild Cough Due To An Allergic Reaction
Question: What can you use for a teenage cheerleader with allergy and hoarsness before a football game(over the counter meds). Mild cough and no fever.
Brief Answer:
Cetirizine should be helpful
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
Cetirizine is an over the counter antiallergic which should be helpful in your case. Be sure to give steam inhalation. Water in form of vapour goes deep inside and helps in diluting the thick mucus (which would otherwise have needed to be coughed out) and would thereby provide relief. Gurgling with lukewarm water on the other hand should take care of the hoarseness and should provide relief.
Hope that helps. Feel free to ask back in case of further queries if any.
