Suggest Remedy For Dry Cough
HI - I have a 3.7 year old daughter who has been suffering from cough for almost a month now.
We have seen many doctors and all have prescribed various cough syrups, but none seems to be helping her. Today we took her to an ENT specialist and he prescribed anti alergic medicines. Any suggestion from the panel would be of help to us as helpless parents who see our daughter cough every min. The cough is dry in nature
