Suggest Treatment For Severe Cough With Nasal Mucus In A Child
Question: My 1.5 year old baby is coughing a lot and sometimes with mucus coming out of nose. She does not have any fever. Can you please suggest any cough syrup or any other medicine for her
Brief Answer:
Some antiallergic like cetirizine needs to be given.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
Most often such symptoms are due to viral infection which usually have an allergic component associated. I would give her Relent Plus (contains cetirizine) 1.5 ml once daily for a few days. Also give steam inhalation. It will help in diluting the cough and would provide relief.
