Thanks for posting your query at HealthCareMagic. Most of such infections are caused due to viruses. The condition is called bronchiolitis. It also has an allergic component. Adding Syrup Allegra (antiallergic) should help in reducing the sneezing. Mucolyte helps in diluting the mucus and thereby reducing the cough. You can repeat the dose after 6 or 8 hours.
