Hello.
Thank you for asking at HCM.
I went through your daughter's history, it's runny nose & cough without chest congestion for last 3 weeks. I guess fever is not a symptom here.
Firstly, I would not suspect a serious condition here. I would think of either allergy or post-
viral cough (it is common to continue coughing for some weeks, sometimes more than a month, after viral infection).
Regarding treatment, I would suggest an antihistaminic (such as cetirizine or
levocetirizine) and
montelukast daily for your daughter. This will take care of both nasal symptoms & cough.
As nasal blockade is not a problem with your daughter, I would not suggest using
Nasivion for more than 3 days. Rather I would suggest nasal saline spray daily to irrigate nasal cavities.
Antibiotics are not required for viral infections or allergies. However, if your daughter develops fever or fast breathing, I would suggest you to
consult a pediatrician.
Hope this will help you.
Wish your daughter a fast recovery and the best of the health.
Regards.
