Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of dry cough with mucous which seems to be due to chest infection/ chronic upper respiratory tract infection. Need not to worry. Soemtimes dry cough also occur due to acid reflux and and mucous due to post nasal drip. I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles. You should take cough expectorants. You should take antibiotic Levofloxacin in combination with antiallergic medication. Visit pediatrician once and get it examined. You should get chest X-ray done and start treatment after proper diagnosis have been made. Avoid oily and sharp food. Drink plenty of warm water.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
