ENT Specialist,  's  Response
Hi, T-minic contains antihistaminic with nasal decongestant. Allergic cough may responds to antihistaminics but usually is treated with a mucolytic and bronchodilator if required. Anti histaminics if used are for short duration only as these tend to dry up secretions. So, if chest on auscultation shows some congestion and wheezing, mucolytic with bronchodilator is usually used. Antihistaminic for few days may suppress the irritation and tickling of throat and thus can give relief in cough because of that. So, if the child is very young, don't give any medicine yourself. If an older child, you can give T-minic for 2-3 days if you feel like. Regards
