Suggest Treatment For Cough And Cold In Child

Hi, my son is 3 and a half years old. He has cough and cold problems every winter. Hence he was prescribed Montec LC kid and Foracort 100 pump by his pulmonologist last week. However since last 2-3 days he has running nose and cough(wet cough) inspite of being on medication. Can these drugs treat his current problem. If not, what do you suggest?

He is more than likely experiencing a cold right now. Give it a few days and it should resolve on it's own. If he develops fever or the symptoms worsen over the next week, have his doctor check him.
