Suggest Treatment For A Persistent Cough

my kid is 3 years old. he is seroflo inhaler for close to 1.5 months and asthalin inhaler is given as and when required. this time we gave him for about 5-6 days as per doctors advise. thereafter doc suggested sal mucolite. that too we have him close to 5 days. cough still persits. am very worried as my son is perpetually on medicine for something or the other. kindly advise.

Hello,

You are following correct medication plan. seroflo inhalation will reduce inflammation of air passages. Asthalin will help to keep the lung open. mucolite also do the same.

Sometimes cough may present for a few days though the inflammation is over.

This is due to irritation of air passages in the past. you can wait for a few days. Otherwise, you can give Cetrizine syp in the night after consulting with your family pediatrician.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Rajmohan, Pediatrician
