hello,
cough or coryza can be viral illness.
u can give that medication for symptomatic relief.
if cough persists, do consult a pediatrician

Dr. Shaukat Panjawani answered : 11 years ago

We have to see if the cough is dry or wet.If the cough is wet you can give Kufrill LS drops that contains bronchodilator. But if the cough is dry than you have to give your baby Wikoryl AF syrup 3.5ml three times a day.

Baby is suffering from cold and more importantly cough since past 2 days. Doctor has prescribed T-minic drops 0.5 ml oral for 3 days and post to which cough didnot subside, then to use Kufril drops 0.5 ml thrice a day. However on using first instance of T-minic baby had pooped 4 times (Can be because he was on antibiotics just a week back for ear infection. His stools were more in number atleast twice after every feed. But once medicnes are stopped his stools were back to normal and he poops only once a day). and also his cough has increased very much. His feeding routine got slightly distrubed as he is not able to complete the bottle with ease. He leaves an ounce or so sometimes due to stuffy nose or congestion. Are these medications safe for a 5 month old baby? if not what precautions to be taken to soothe him from cough and cold?

Doctor's Answer

Dear SV, What needs to be considered is if your daughter has had any allergies or asthma in the past. We refer to them as hyper-responsive or atopic, wherein, these children are prone to develop an allergic reaction especially to pollution or smoke. Diwali is a season of high pollution and I would recommend using an antihistamine like cetirizine (appropriate dose for age), along with a a teasppon of honey (honey is a known and scientifically proven remedy for irritative cough).
