Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.

It takes around 3-4 days to get improvement after start of medication. I would suggest you following things:
> Give medicine regularly at prescribed time.
> make sure that room temperature is appropriate for him. If its cold outside then make sure you keep him warm by wrapping in warm clothes.
> Give steam regularly as it gives soothing effect and helps in curing early.
> Keep him away from dust.

Report to hospital if:
> Condition remain same after 5-6 days
> Any unusual symptom appears
> Condition deteriorates.
> There is difficulty in breathing.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow
up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing you good health.
