Hi, This is regarding my daughter who is 2 years and 7 months. Since yesterday she is suffering from dry cough and the intensity has increased now, In the past, she was prescribed Alerid 5ml, 2 mm twice daily for 4 days. We are under the dilemma whethet to administer the same dosage since we are unable to contact her paediatrician. Looking forward to your valuable input.

Hi, Alerid Syrup is used mainly for allergic cough. Since, now there is occuring a climate change so i don't think that it will be allergic cough.
I suggest you to give Syrup Chericof 5 ml three times a day for 3 days. If fever or throat pain is also present than the child will require antibiotics.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any further questions i will be happy to help. Wishing your child good health.
