Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
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
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,
Dr. R. A. Singh, Emergency Medicine Specialist
