Hi thanks for contacting HCM...
Noted your child having dry cough..
So it could be viral flu or allergic one....
Here I dont think antibiotic given as no phlegm or mucus present....
Simple antihistaminic might needed to relieve inflammation...
Antitussive like dextromethorphan syrup might given...
Avoid passive exposure to dust and smoke...
Respiratory rate and auscultation examination done ....
If bronchoconstriction then bronchodilator given.
Honey help in soothing respi tract.
Take care.
