Suggest Treatment For Cough In A Child

Should I worry? My daughter is breathing fast and heavy in her sleep right now. She has a very bad cough and has been complaining of her stomache hurting. Hasn t spiked a fever yet but I m worried about how fast her chest is pumping up and down. What can I do right now?

Hello! Thank you for writing! Are your daughter airways free, is her nose free or is it congestioned? For how long has she had the cough? Try to measure her temperature. Usually if the cough isn't accompanied by temperature the situation isn't so bad. But in order to be assured better visit your doctor to an pediater in order to do a physical excamination and an auscultation with stethoscope. If there is no problem then you can use a syrup in base of the type of the cough. If it with sputum and it seem like your daughter has difficulty to clear her airways from the sputum you can use ambroxole hydrochloride in a dose based of the age of your daughter. From 0-3 years 2X 2,5 ml from 3-6 years 3 X 2,5 ml and over 6 years 3 X 5ml. For the moment better visit an pediater. Wish you good health. Best regards.
