Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query your kid have symptoms of recurrent cough which seems to be due to infection of upper respiratory tract and due to poor immunity of body.

Need not to worry about it. I would suggest you to take decongestant nasal sprays containing mucinex for instant relief. You should give diet rich in vitamin C. Take combination of Sinarest along with Levocetirizine. You should go for steam inhalation on daily basis along with nasal vaporizers. You should put xylomist nasal drops to prevent congestion. Visit pediatrician once and get it examined and start treatment as per diagnosis.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
