HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, this could be allergic cough and this does not need any vigorous treatment and not the antibiotic and nebulizer at all this would some time worse the condition, in my opinion the condition can be treated with Tab Loratidine with Pseudoephedrine (dose need to be adjusted according to weight) along with this try pure honey prior to bed with just Luke worm water, this would be much better than the medicine, take care.
