Child With Wet Cough, Greenish Nasal Discharge After T And A Surgery. On Steroids And Antibiotics. Should I Be Worried?
My 31/2 year old daughter had a T and A on thursday...starting yesterday she has been developing a wet sounding cough....I'm thinking it could be a cold because the same day my 1 year old woke up with a running nose (greenish-yellow) is this ok? Or should I be worried? She is on tylonel, had 3 doses of steroids right after surgery, is on 5 days of anti-biotics...thanks!

Hi,
Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.
There may be a little bit cough after Tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy due to manipulation in the throat by the surgical procedure itself.
Or it may be spread of a virus from his sibling's cold.
Continue the medications as prescribed by your doctor.
An mucolytic cough syrup can be given after prescription.
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards.
