Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have symptoms of cough which is mainly because of lower respiratory tract infection known as wheeze associated lower respiratory tract infections.

Need not to worry about it. Symptoms resembling flu and normally takes 3 days for viral fever to go. Visit paediatrician once and get it examined. If cough is exaggerating go for chest X-ray, blood and sputum test of child. If it is bacterial infection start with proper course of antibiotics. Yes you can give child Pulmicort and Ventolin nebulaization.

Till then give crocin 4 hrly. Acetaminophen is also effective and you can give that as well. Give child proper rest without any discomfort. Give water after every few mins.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
