How To Treat Throat Congestion And Dry Cough In Children?

My daughter started a throat clearing last Sunday. Then in the middle of last week it almost turned into a grunt. This past Sunday she started a hacking dry cough that won t stop until she goes to bed and it s non-stop from around 4-5pm until bedtime. No mucus, no sign of any post-nasal drip. She is 4.5 years old

Hi,

I would suggest that your daughter needs a clinical evaluation. She may need an antihistamine for management. A clinical examination and investigation by her doctor will help in planning her medical management.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
