Provided the kid's history all the kid needs is symptomatic treatment.Salamodil is an expectorant and can be used if the chest is wheezy and crepitated. Nasal decongestants drops like oxymetazoline etc with antipyretics syrups like acetaminophen is needed.If the cough is severe add ivy leaf extracts syrup to the dosage. Seek the paediatrician if the problem persists. Ask our expert paediatrician for a better management by trying our premium answer facility and get answered to in minutes.
