Hi Dear
Welcome to the HCM,
Child needs to be treated with some antihistaminic decongestant. Along with this bronchodilator drugs like salbutamol is also required for the continuous cough.
Repeated nebulization with bronchodilator and antinflammatory drugs are quite helpful in quick recovery.
Antibiotics may also be required if there are signs of infection.
Hope the query is answered.
thanks
