Hi,
Thank you for your query.
I can understand your concern.But your child is treated with the same types of medicines having different brand names. The last doctor has given her 2 antibiotics!!. Kindly do the Xray and see whether anything is really warranted or not. I would give her a nasal congestant and a cough suppresant if the X ray is ok.Vapour inhalation thrice daily should help too. Kindly consult a senior doctor who examines the child well and prescribes justified medications. I hope i could help you out. Wishing her a speedy recovery.Bye
