Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have son of 10months, he has cough n cold from past 10-15days, his chest is clear. Firstly doctor advised to give him Zyrtec syrup (2ml) Thrice a day which didnt worked well so he changed the medicine to Maxtra syrup (2.5ml) Thrice a day continue for 5days which is also not effecting his coughing. It seems the mucus is become thick. He is coughing and whizing quite a lot. Kindly advice what i should do now.
As you explain the situation he needs nebuliser with bronchodilator such as Ventoline and steroidsBudesonide twice.In such conditions sirups do not help at all Please discuss with his pediatrician
Regards
Dr Jolanda
