How To Treat Cough While Taking Relent For Common Cold In Children?
Im giving relent+ to my 4.4yrs daughter fr cold frm last 3 days now. Since today morning she has started coughing as well. We have an international trip coming up day after tomorrow. Request you to recommend something appropriate for her fr immediate relief
Your child seems to be suffering from upper respiratory tract infection. Most of the infections are viral and they will heal by themselves. Only supportive care is necessary. Sometimes, bacterial infection may be super added. Then antibiotics are necessary.
As you have been using relent syrup which contains Cetirizine and Ambroxol, you don't need to have another medicine for cough. Relent cures cough. Plenty of fluids are to be given. Steam inhalation daily once is advised. Make her drink warm water and gargling with warm water with a pinch of salt is advised. An antibiotic can be started as it's already 3 days elapsed now.
Take syrup Amoxicillin 250 mg for 5 days. It comes as oral suspension that contains 250 mg/5ml. Even after 5 days of above treatment if your baby continues to have fever and severe cough, you can take her to a pediatrician.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Pallavi M., Anesthesiologist
