Hi
Thanks for writing to us
Usually cold and cough is viral or allergic.
You are already giving cetrizine.
You can give the cough syrup you have for one or two doses.
If not improving better get her examined by your pediatrician.
She may require antibiotics or bronchodilators based on the examination findings.
Give her plenty of liquids to keep her hydrated.
Wishing your child speedy recovery.
