Suggest Medication For Severe Cold And Dry Cough In An Infant
My baby is 6 months. She is suffering from cold and dry cough for past 5 days. We took her to doctor on Wednesday wherein doctor prescribed to give Delcon drops (10 drops), and Levolin (1 ml). After taking this medicines, my baby was throwing up after each feed. She couldn t sleep properly for last 3 days and was crying continuously, so we took her to doctor again yesterday, he prescribed Moxclav (5 drops), asked to continue Levolin (1 ml) and Fepanil (1 ml). My baby is not taking proper feed for last 2 days. And for nose block, we are giving a drop of Saline water in her nose. I am worried how long will it take to cure. Pls suggest and also let me know whether the medicines taken are right. Thank you!

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have severe cold and dry cough which is due to upper respiratory tract infection which is leading to sinusitis as well. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to avoid intake of cold liquids. You should take green tea every morning. You should take antibiotic Ciprofloxacin and antihistamine Levocetirizine for 3-4 days. Avoid intake of excessive oily, fried and spicy food. You should do warm saline gargles on daily basis and take steam inhalation as well. Visit ENT specialist once if symptoms keeps on persisting and get blood tests and X-ray chest done and start treatment after proper diagnosis.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
