What Causes Harsh, Dry Cough In Child?
My son, almost 6, has a very harsh, dry, barky type cough....no fever, says his throat only hurts when he coughs, playing normal...no other typical symptoms of croup (had that couple times when younger) but concerns me....should I be worried, what can I do to help him?

Hi,
From history it seems that he might be having allergic bronchiolitis giving this problem and no other signs of bacterial infection.
Give him cough syrup to give symptomatic relief from cough.
Avoid dusty and humid atmosphere.
Avoid giving cold drinks and junk food.
Ok and take care.
