Suggest Treatment For Frequent Cough And Runny Nose
Hi, My son is 1 year old. He has runny nose, frequent cough,for the past 7-8 days and no fever. There is a grunting sound from his chest. I gave Kufril-LS drop, 25 drops 3 times in a day for 5 days. After that the above problem was decreasing but suddenly from yesterday these problems are again start as early. What should be the correct dosage. pls revert asap.
It is very important to administer proper dosage of medicine to children and it depends upon their weight as well as overall health. The reason for his symptoms can be viral or bacterial or allergic. I suggest to seek a pediatrician's advice on this as in children there can dangerous adverse effects of drugs if given without proper physical examination. If needed the doctor will advice some diagnostic tests and additional medicines for fast recovery.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
