Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query your child has symptoms of dry cough and cold which could be due to streptococcal infection leading to strep throat and recurrent infection is due to poor immunity of child. I would suggest you to take combination of antibiotics, along with antihistaminic medications. Give child steam inhalation. Nasal decongestants along with cough syrup will relieve symptoms. Visit pediatrician once if symptoms keeps on persisting and get it examined. Start treatment once proper diagnosis is confirmed. Keep sipping warm water as well.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
