Cold and cough

My 3 years old daughter has cough and cold for 2 days and fever since morning . She has nasal discharge and seems to breath by mouth. Otherwise she is playful and active. Please advise.

Also give her steam inhalation twice daily. For cough and cold give her a decongestive medicine with paracetamol. This will take care of fever as well. Keep a watch for danger signs like fast breathing , chest indrawing , inability to drink , lethargy . Go to your nearest child specialist when you see ...

my baby age is 32 months, she suffers from cold, cough, mucus and vomtings. doctor suggested grilinctus-cd 4ml twice a day. is it ok for my child and u sugest any side effects and how long we can use this medicine

Hi, Whom did you consult ?(any specialist or any body else) because this cough syrup is usually not recomended in children of this age group as thier can be side effects,avoid giving that cough syrup. As such if there is no fast brething or no indrawing of chest then no treatment is required and this might be a viral infection which will go off and you just have to see that he is not getting dehydrted and you can also give him steam inhalation and if she has nasal congestion then you can put ...

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?

Thanks for your query... First of all we need to exclude lower respiratory tract infection which may include pneumonia or bronchiolitis.Take your child to a paediatrician for clinical examination.U mentioned your child was on antibiotics 3 times in last 4 months.Was it due to lactose intolerance only leading to loose motions or for some other illness also ?? Has exclusive bottle feeding advised to you by a paediatrician after diagnosis of lactose intolerance or the child was bottle fed since bi ...

My 5 month old daughter has severe cold cough after diwali. Doc gave her amoxilin and kufril d for cough. What else can I do as her breathing heavy after 3 days of medication ? (She threw up once after the medicine was given so i gave half a dose again.)

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). If it does not co ...

good evening doctor ! my son is 11 yr old, studying in 5th std. he keeps getting a cold intermittently. it is characterised by sudden sneezing fits, esp in the morning. i am prone to asthma but only sometimes. pls suggest a permanent remedy or precaution for his cold. his cold also appears to be allergic,

Looks like allergic rhinitis, is related to asthma. Avoid triggers like dust, mites, pets, pollen and someone smoking in house. Your doctor may prescribe steroid nasal spray for 5-10 days, if severe - despite antihistamines, decongestant. You may try frequent nasal rinsing with normal saline. ...
