What Causes Severe Coughing In A Child?

I received predcort ds liq today for my son . he has been coughing constantly since yesterday. what is the predcort supposed to do for him ?. Also the predcort is a replacement for a medication which they do not stock on the island where we are now residing. (name: celestene) its a French medicine and the contents of the medication is betamethasone. has the medication been properly replaced by using predcort. he is still coughing a lot unlike after he has taken the celestene which usually stops the coughing within an hour.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, most of the cough in pediatric age group are self limiting because this could be due to allergy and seldom need any treatment unless have some secondary infection else this can be well managed with pure honey, try this prior to bed, be patience this would be fine, take care.
