Pediatrician,  's  Response
Most often such symptoms occur due to infection with certain viruses. Irrespective of treatment, the symptoms of cough would last for 5-10 days. Ventorlin contains salbutamol which would help in reducing spasm/wheezing. It will not make cough go. Please be patient. Giving steam inhalation and some antiallergic like cetirizine should provide relief.
