Suggest Treatment For Severe Cough In Infant
Hi, my 11 month old baby boy has had a stuffy yet runny nose for 10 days now, fever, well last couple days its been right at 100.00. Coughing horribly and gagging on it most times, his mucas and snot has been bright green, dark green and clear, back and forth. .... his cough is sort of wet sounding, no chest congestion but he majority of the time will end up gagging, choking on it and his eyes will water up. I have been giving him motrin/tylenol alternating for 9 days now and Atarax once a day for the past 7 and now twice a day the last 2. I took him to the Doctor twice, the last time being yesterday morning, nothing else can be done or given to him. Any suggestions you can give.... I have a humidifier going, saline drops...

Hello,
First of all steam inhalation three times a day with Vicks added. Pour nasal drops and clean the nose so that baby can breathe and take feed to give syrup, nebulizer with Atrovent three times a day. For a cough give syrup Hylixia (herbal) three times a day or acetyl syrup. No need of antibiotic if the condition is improving. Give panadol three times a day. Wait and watch before starting antibiotic.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Hina Javed
