Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi
Welcome to the HCM

I understand your concerns but don't worry. It takes 2-3 weeks for cough to completely improve after chest infections. I would recommend you to start him on antihistamine such as Chlorpheniramine or fexofenadine for cough and cold. Continue the herbs you are giving. Also, use nasal saline drops to prevent crusting and bleeds while blowing nose. Avoid nose picking by your child. Use room humidifier while sleeping if the weather is dry.

Hopefully this will help him. I would be happy to help you in any further questions.
Take care
