Hi, Alerid Syrup is used mainly for allergic cough. Since, now there is occuring a climate change so i don't think that it will be allergic cough.
I suggest you to give Syrup Chericof 5 ml three times a day for 3 days. If fever or throat pain is also present than the child will require antibiotics.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any further questions i will be happy to help. Wishing your child good health.
