Suggest Remedies For Severe Cough And Running Nose In An Infant
My baby is 11 months old.. has severe cough and runny nose, no fever. Doc has prescribed Atarax 2.5ml twice daily for 5 days and Ambrodil-S 2.5 ml twice daily for 5 days. Its already been 3 days and there is no releif, should we change medicines or should we wait?
Understanding your concern. As per your query your infant have symptoms of severe cough and running nose which occurs due to increased susceptibility of getting infected and due to upper respiratory infection bacterial or viral.
Need not to worry. I would suggest you to avoid giving child any cold beverages.
- Give child light food.
- Give cough expectorants to child.
You should consult pediatrician once if symptoms keeps on persisting and get it examined. Doctor may order certain test like throat swab test, blood test , and chest X-ray to confirm the diagnosis and may prescribe antibiotics , anti inflammatory and decongestants.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
