Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, possibility of allergic bronchitis is more likely.
Coughing, phlegm and runny nose are characteristic symptoms of allergic bronchitis in children.
Combination of anti histamine (levocetrizine or fexofenadine) and anti allergic (montelukast) at night time is very effective.
Inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or salmeterol) are also beneficial.
So consult pediatrician and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your child. Thanks.
