Suggest Remedy For Cold And Cough

My 8 months old daughter has a very bad cold. Her previous prescription when she had similar symptoms was to give Relent syrup and Nasivion. She doesnt have a cough, but a severe running nose and therefore some trouble in breathing. Nasalclear and steam inhalation are also not giving too much relief. Pls suggest.

Hello
Your 8 months old daughter may develop bronchoconstriction , as this is most common cause of such symptoms .
Nasal drops only clear nose ,so your daughter require some bronchodilator as this will not only help in nasal congestion as well ease breathing problem.
When such case visit I prescribe TERBUTALINE syrup as this is safe for children as well minimum side effects.
But this is a prescription drug so consult your doctor and take a prescription.
Hot coffee and steam inhalation also provide relief.
If still no relief within 2-3 day then I advise to use montelukast= bambutrol syrup ( both 0.2 mg /kg body weight ).
All these medicines are prescription drugs and only causes mild tremors but that is natural .
Good luck.
