Brief Answer:
Home remedies and T-minic syrup.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Dry cough and cold usually recovers on its own by a week. As your son is 2 years old it is best to avoid cough suppressant.

You can follow some home remedies such as:

- Giving a teaspoon of honey with warm lemon juice daily for a week.

- Steam inhalation.

- In case the cold and cough is disturbing you can give T-minic syrup 2ml twice a day.

In case the symptoms persists or worsens it is best to meet a pediatrician for further treatment.

I hope this answered your query.
