Suggest Remedy For Cold And Cough In Children
My son is 2.5 years old, he recently had a cold at the beginning of this month for about 2 weeks, went away for a week and now it is back. But he now has this hacking cough on top of the cold that is beginning to worry me. Is there any otc meds I can give him to help him?

Hi, this is most probably upper respiratory tract infection. Give cough syrup like chericof 5 ml three times a day for 3 days. If no improvement in 24 hours then get child examined by a doctor. Take care.
