Pediatrician,  's  Response
Episodes of cough and cold are caused most often due to certain viruses.
* Some children have an increased propensity to catching cold and keep getting cough and cold recurrently. But the propensity comes down with age and you would need to be patient.
* The cough has an allergic component which can be kept in control by the use of Montair LC (monteleukast+levocetririzine). Prolonged use might be required although off and on use might be also done based on requirements.
* Also giving steam inhalation provides relief. Getting the tonsils checked is also important as underlying tonsillar infection often predisposes to catching cold.
