Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have symptoms of cough which could be due to upper respiratory tract infection and poor immunity of body. It could be due to increased susceptibility of getting infected. Need not to worry. Chericof syrup as advised to you should not be used in children younger than 4 years. You should do tepid sponging on your child's head to lower down body temperature. Avoid hot, spicy and sharp food. I would suggest you to take combination of NSAIDs along with paracetamol. Take diet rich in multivitamins and vitamin C. Your symptoms will resolve in 4-5 days. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit pediatrician once and get some routine blood investigation done.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
