Hello.

I would suggest a combination of antihistamine (cetirizine, levocetirizine, fexofenadine, etc) and montelukast for symptoms of sneezing, running nose & cough for your child.

However, if cough is severe, I would suggest you to consult a pediatrician who will examine his chest with stethoscope and will decide whether he needs nebulization or cough syrup such as Salmodil Plus.

I would suggest not to self-medicate a young child.

Hope this was helpful to you.

Wish your son best of the health.

Regards.
