Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of dry cough despite taking Zedocef CV, Aziwok and Alex which seems to due to lung infection leading to upper respiratory tract infection / bronchitis. I would suggest you to visit pediatrician once and get it examined. You should get pulmonary function tests and X-ray chest done. You should take cough expectorants. You should do warm saline rinses 3-4 times a day. You should avoid cold carbonated beverages. Apply mist humidifiers in room. Take antibiotic Levofloxacin along with Anti-inflammatory medication such as Levocetrizine.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
