Child Having Hoarse Throat Due To Dust, No Runny Nose Or Fever. Can I Give Histatussin?

There is constant dust in my community due to development taking place----construction of houses. As a result my two year old daughter has a very hoarse throat . She has no running nose nor stuffiness. She has no fever . Is histatussin medicine good for clearing up her hoarse voice. If not, is there any good over-the-counter medication that is good for her to take.

Hoarseness of voice of your daughter is most probably due to screaming. Try to see that she minimizes it or best stops it. You try getting her voice therapy by speech therapist. Even after that if it persists then better show to an ENT specialist
