What Causes Persistent Runny Nose And Cough In Children?
My 5 year old has had a runny nose and can t stop coughing for a week now. Treating with otc allergy meds and cough suppressants at night. Not clearing up. In middle of cross country move, not near family Dr. What can Indo for him that doesn t involve an ER visit?
Hi, From history it seems that he might be having allergic rhinitis giving this trouble. Give him Montek LC anti allergic medicine for 1-2 weeks. This is good anti-allergic medicine for respiratory tract infection. Put otrivin pediatric nasal drops for runny nose. Avoid giving cold drinks and junk food. Ok and take care.
