Hi there.
Thanks for writing.
Sorry to hear your daughter is not feeling well.
I would advise you to keep her head end elevated while sleeping. Let her sleep either on left side or right side. If she wants to sleep on her back..then keep the head elevated on two pillows or so.Cough is generally more at night because while lying down all the secretions from the nose go down to the throat (post nasal drip) and cause the irritating cough.
During the day, do steam inhalation 3 times a day. Do so very carefully as it is hot steam ...Please be careful while doing it.
Give her warm water to drink at regular intervals.
You can also give her a teaspoon of honey mixed with a pinch of pepper powder.
Hope this helps.
Do get back to me if you have further queries.
Wishing your child a speedy recovery.
Regards,
Dr. Divya Kuttikrishnan
