Hi Dear,

Welcome to Health Care Magic Team.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your child is suffering from pneumonitis, productive cough and cold which is due to chronic infection of upper respiratory tract and long standing lung infection as well. As you have tried all combination of medications and getting not much relief , I would suggest you to visit pediatrician once and get chest X-ray done. You should get pulmonary function test done for your child to known about the extent of infection. after proper evaluation start treatment. Treatment should be symptomatic. Till then give child steam inhalation. Apply humidifiers in room. Give vaporizers rub to child.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
