Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of cough in toddlers with asthma which could be due to severe upper respiratory tract infection/lung infection. It could be due to impaired immunity of child and increased susceptibility of getting infected. Need not to worry. Drink plenty of fluids to rehydrate yourself. You should take cough expectorants as well. I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles and betadine gargles alternatively , avoid eating spicy and heavy food. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper examination . Doctor may order throat swab test, may take history, and blood test. Doctor may prescribe antiviral along with anti inflammatory Levocetirizine. You should avoid intake of outside food.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
