Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
HI, My son is 5 months old and he loves to drink NAN 1 pro. From last 15-20 days, me, my wife and my son are having severe cough. For us it's ok but I am worried for my son. I went to a doc and started some antibiotics with cough syrup nut still its not over for him even after 6 days.
Hi Welcome to the HCM VIRAL infections are common cause of cold and cough in this age group. If severe and at the suspicion of bacterial infection, antibiotics are advisable to treat them. Many a times they may take around 2weeks to clear up. If there is no fever associated, my opinion is to wait and watch. In case there are any new symptoms like high grade fever, difficulty in swallowing or breathing or localized pain and pus collection, go for repeat consultation and a proper ENT examination.
