Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your child has symptoms of cough and cold in a child which is due to allergic reaction or due to repeated viral respiratory tract infections. I would suggest you to take combination of antihistamine and antibiotic drugs. Use vaporizers rub in small quantity . Use room humidifiers as well to prevent any allergic reaction to child. You should take antihistamine such as Benadryl or Chlorpheniramine along with Amoxicillin. Avoid hot, sharp, spicy food. You should give cough expectorants to child. I would advise you to get your sinus x ray and chest X-ray done and consult your physician to find proper diagnosis and then start treatment as per that. Visit pediatrician once and get it examined if symptoms keeps on persisting. Start treatment after proper diagnosis.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
