Hello,
It can be upper respiratory tract infection.
For that along with cough syrup decongestant and antibiotic can be added.
Levofloxacin like broad-spectrum antibiotic can be prescribed.
Levocetirizine like decongestant also can be prescribed.
Take one tsp turmeric powder with milk daily.
If no improvement than chest x-ray needs to be done for further work up.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
