Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,

If he is not febrile, is playful and is feeding as usual, need not worry about dry cough- it will go in a couple of days. If cough is sever enough to interfere with feeding or sleeping, bronchodilators like Salbutamol syrup 2.5ml three times a day given for 5 days might help. Antihistamines like levocetirizine or chlorephniramine maleate are also given occasionally but may cause a bit sedation in young infants.

If not getting better in two days, kindly get his chest examined once.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
