Suggest A Medication For 1 Year Old With Cough, Cold And CRS.

Hello Sir,

I m Deepika and my daughter Dhrithi is a 1 Year old and is a CRS patient. We have operated her for Bilateral Catarat and PDA at heart. Now she is suffering from severe cold and cough. Can you please prescribe medicines for her as our Pediatrician is not in town.

Thanks,

Hello

Cough and cold in this age group is mostly due to viral infection.You can give syrup containing antiallergic and decongestive like maxtra/timinic. The dose in children is calculated according to weight. At one year the average weight should be 8-9 kgs.The dose will be 2.5-3.5 ml 2 to three times a day depending on severity.
This is a prescription drug and it should be prescribed by a physician.
A proper clinical examination should be done by a physician to see whether it is upper airway or lower airway disease and viral or bacterial;as the management depends on this.
Regards
