How Can Chronic Cough Along With Runny Nose Be Treated?

Hi Dr. Narasi, My seven years old daughter has been coughing for several days, and two days ago she got running nose, this morning she complained about her left ear, so I applied a cotton con Vick VapoRub for kids, and she fall sleep. When she walked up she said her ear was better, and we needed to do an errand, and in the way back home she said she was feeling sick and vomited but only clear liquids, and mucus. We are at home, and she said she is still feeling nausea, but now she said she is hungry. I gave a salted cracker. Is it o.k. to give her some chicken noodle soup?

Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query your daughter symptoms of upper respiratory infection due to poor immunity of your body. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to avoid use of spicy, sharp oily and fried food substances. Yes you can give chicken soup it will be very beneficial. Apply mist humidifiers in room. You should do warm saline rinses 3-4 times a day. You should avoid cold carbonated beverages. You should take combination of antibiotic Levofloxacin along with antihistamine such as Levocetirizine. You should visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should get chest x-ray done along with pulmonary function tests done so as to detect level of infection and treatment can be started accordingly.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
