6yr old severe coughing while sleeping
My daughter has manageable cough in the day and active. It gets worse in the night that she gets severe bouts of cough (dry but I feel some mucus is stuck in chest and not coming out)that doesn't stop. She wakes up 2-3 times like this .
She is currently taking levocet and ambroxil syrup from the past 2 days. When cough gets worse at night takes Asthalin puff.
I was giving her Amoxicillin 600mg 5ml which was reduced to 2.5 now as the doc felt it's high dose.
We are on day 5. How long should I wait for this to improve or should I get second opinions?
We have done an x ray and it looks cloudy on the left lung. I am very worried about how long this will take to improve.
