Suggest Treatment For Persistent Cough In A Child

My 8 year old son has coughed chronically for two nights, went to the doctor today and is on an antibiotic. He also took a prescription cough medicine but no relief. We tried honey...nothing is working. The humidifier has been sterilized and is running. Is there anything else we can do?

Hi,
As antibiotic started, its effect will start gradually and will feel better now.
Continue with antibiotic.
Continue cough syrup to give symptomatic relief from cough.
Avoid giving cold drinks and junk food.
Ok and take care.
