If your child is suffering for long. The chest infection can be due to atypical organisms. Give him Syr Claribid 5ml twice daily. this will give him releive. if there is family history of asthma or allergy in your family then your child will be more pron eto get infections.Giving annual Influenza vaccine will be very help ful. for cough Ambrolite-S will suffice. use it 4 times daily.
