What Causes Persistent Cough In A Child Upon Weaning Off Monticope Syrup?

Hi, My Son is 2yrs 8 months and having cough every night. visited a pediatrician and he suggested to take Monticope syrup (5ml only night time). Whenever we give this syrup to him, he wont have any cough problem, but if we miss one day, then problem starts the very next day. Please advise whether we can give this syrup regularly and for how long? Will it have any longer health impacts due to this? Please help us.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your child haspersistent cough upon weaning off Monticope syrup which is due to chest infection and it could be due to throat infection as well. It seems you have wheeze associated lower respiratory tract infection. Symptoms can also occur due to withdrawal effects of certain medicine . I would suggest you to visit pediatrician once and get it examined completely like throat swab test a, blood test and get X-ray chest done. Start treatment after proper examination. Start treatment after proper diagnosis is made out. Till then take proper course of antibiotics to you. Take steam inhalation , which will be very helpful. Avoid giving child any cold carbonated beverages. Avoid giving any outside food to child.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
