What Medicine Can I Give To Clear Cough And Cold?
My 10 year old daughter got her tonsils and adenoids removed about 1 month ago and has had a cough since a week after the procedure. She doesn't have a cold but she clears her throat or coughs repeatedly every 2-5 minutes. It's as if she has an excessive amount of phlem or mucus. Is this normal?

get her checked from a paediatrician, this is unusual after tonsillectomy, she might be suffering from some chest infection
