Any Suggestion For Severe Dry Cough And Mild Fever?
my son is dry coffing severely. More especially at night times and can not have sound sleeps. Coffing initially since 2 weeks has now aggraved. We have been giving him Vikoril AF syrup but no success. Since yesterday night we have also given Calpol 125 5 ml looking at mild fever. What is your medication suggestion now?

Hi,
Medications can be fixed based on complete evaluation.
For now based on your explanation, continue syp with 15 mg per kg along with salt water gargle. If any bacterial infection then antibiotics should be given.
If more fever do tepid sponging.
Hope this helps you.
Regards
