Hi Thanks for your query. Your child is having respitatory infection. I suggest you to continue with medication as prescribed by your doctor. Sometimes it takes longer for infection to settle. Omnacortil is prednislone which is anti inflammatory . Regarding linctus it is for dry cough and as per your doctor it is productive in nature for which expectorant will help. Give steam inhalation also. Be in regular follow up with your pediatrician .
