Hi, my son is 4 yr and having cold and cough since 12 to 14 days, give him cherikoff syrup - 3 times a day-2.5 ml-for 10 days. Intially he had more cough, he used to cough most of the time in night, so started cherikoff, still he developed running on 6 or 7 th day. Now even after giving cherikoff for 10 days he is having cold and cough. i am only worried about cough as he will not have sound sleep at nite as he keeps coughing and some time he might puke also . so needed advice as to should i still continue cherikoff ? for how many more days...?i have not given him since morning as it is already 10 days he is been taking the medicine, but now in afternooon nap he is coughing too much...pls advice...
