Child Having Red Rashes On Cheeks And Developed Strep And Dry Cough

My 5yr old began with a red rash both cheeks a month ago. He then developed strep two weeks later and was treated for that. The rash still comes and goes but now he has a dry continous cough. No cough medicine touches it. I took him to ED four nights ago only to be diagnosed with cough. The cough is finally starting to lessen but is still present. Any thoughts? Thank you

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, this is allergic cough and this takes little more time to come around if I would be his doctor then I would stop all the medicine what ever going on right now and start the following treatment,
1) Syrup Levocetrizine 5ml three times in day
hope this information helps you take care and have nice day .
I find this answer helpful
