Pediatrician, Neonatology 's  Response
this cough may take sometime to get rid off. since you are telling she is in recovery phase, you can just use antihistamine syrup with CPM for 3 days. if coughing is more in the night you can use syrup with salbutamol at appropriate dose according to her weight.
