Syrup chericof

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Welcome to HCM.
Can understand your concerns.

Since, the child has just recovered from a viral, I advice you to give cough syrup for 2 days.
You can give cough syrup like chericof or cheston cs syrup 5 ml three times a day for 2 days.
For home remedies
- avoid cold water and cold drinks
- avoid junk food from outside
- honey 5 to 6 drops can be given in morning
- avoid spicy food
- add lemon juice in food which has vitamin c and helps in increasing immunity.

I hope this will help you.
Take care.
