Dear parent, I understand your concerns. for cough you should give a cough suppressant as dextromethorphan . if the cough is with phelgm then you need to give an expectorant as Mucinex . make sure the child drinks plenty of fluid to prevent the phelgm from getting thick. if after a week from using these medications the cough was still present then you should use a mast cell stabilizer as singular sachets once daily for 14 days
