Hi Dear ,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query your child is having recurrent cough and nasal congestion which is due to upper respiratory tract infection and common cold. Need not to worry. Medication Hetrazan is safe to use for child on short term basis. I would suggest you to take few preventive measures such as you should take cough expectorants. Taking Montair is safe to use. You should take anti inflammatory medication such as Levocetirizine. Visit pediatrician once and get it examined. You should get blood test done. You should get an x ray of the chest and pulmonary function tests done as well. You should use throat lozenges and go rinses with warm saline water. You should Chew a Vitamin C pellet. Take decongestants and mucolytic agents. Avoid cold carbonated beverages. Take diet rich in vitamin B12.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
