Suggest Treatment For Severe Cough In A 1 Year Old
Brief Answer:
need evaluation
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to HCM forum.
What you were given include antipyretic and antihistamine. If cough is not coming down after two days of starting these drugs, we have to reevaluate and review the treatment.
This may either indicate associated airway reactivity (which need addition of bronchodilators) or bacterial respiratory tract infection (which needs addition of antibiotics).
So kindly get back to your doctor for reevaluation and treatment accordingly.
Meanwhile, keep him away from cold,dust,fan,ac vent etc.These will increase airway reactivity.
Hope this will answer your query.
Wishing for a faster cure.
Thank you.
