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.
Hi doc,my child is 3 yrs old and is having cough which comes like a bout.has runny nose with clear fluid draining. Should I give wikoryl oral suspension n what ml (he weighs 15kg) I am all nebulize him with butecort and asthalin repsule alternatively... Kindly suggest.
If your son is having a normal cold, I would recommend not using any medications to treat it, because studies have shown that they don't help very much, and sometimes can have dangerous side effects.
One natural treatment you can give is honey, a teaspoon mixed in with juice or warm water, which can help with the cough. For the runny nose, you can just use bulb suction.
Only if he has a history of asthma and has wheezing would I use any inhalers under his doctor's guidance.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Aaron Branch, General & Family Physician
