Hi XXXXX.

Thanks for writing to us.

Relax,there is nothing to worry.It is common for young children up to age of 5 to 6 years to get recurrent respiratory infections due to decrease immunity.

As mentioned by you last time he had cold which got settled and now he is having cough which is disturbing his sleep.

I would like to know what is composition of syrup that you had mentioned.

I suggest you to monitor
-any fever.
-pattern of cough
-if it is dry or productive in nature.
-his appetite and overall activity.

For relief of cough
-give steam inhalation 2 to 3 times for 5 minutes.
-give warm fluids as they will be soothing.
-give soft bland diet so as to maintain nutrition.

Regarding medication I will not advise you to do any self medication as cough syrups are given depending upon nature of cough.

Wait for 24 hours,if symptoms get aggravated I suggest you to get him examined by pediatrician for physical examination so as to ascertain cause of cough and treat accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query.if you have any further questions I would be glad to help.

Wishing your baby good health.

God bless!!

Thanks for your follow up.

This is good that your child is active .

Since you have mentioned that you are giving piriton cs which contains dextomethorphen and chlorphenarimine which is used as cough suppressant in dry and allergic cough.

But you are mentioning that cough is productive in nature for which I suggest you to get your child re assessed by pediatrician.

In the meantime give steam inhalation,and continue with saline spray .

I suggest you to give honey with 1 to 2 drops of ginger during night.

Take care..
