Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi, since your child has wet grilinctus syrup will be more effective. If there is no response in 48 hours or other symptoms like fever, wheezing are present then the child will probably need antibiotics. I suggest you to start grilinctus and wait for 48 hours. I hope this has helped you. Wishing your child good health.
Take care.
