Hi,
As per your query, your toddler has symptoms of wet cough which is due to viral infection of the
respiratory tract and it could be co-infection of bacteria.
Need not to worry. I would suggest you use vaporizers rub in small quantity.
- Use room humidifiers as well to prevent an
allergic reaction to the child.
- Give child antihistamine such as Benadryl or
Chlorpheniramine along with
Amoxicillin.
- Avoid hot, sharp, spicy food.
- Give cough expectorants to the child.
Your physician prescribed you correct inhaler medication, you should take it in small quantity to avoid dependence. I would advise you to visit
pediatrician once and get it examined if symptoms keep on persisting. Start treatment after proper diagnosis. Get done sinus x-ray and chest X-ray if symptoms keep on persisting.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
