Adult Cough syrup in Children
I took my 4.5 yr old kid to a general duty doctor for unsettled cold, occasional wet cough and nasal congestion which lead him breathe through the nose after taking Advent syrup, montecope for 5 days with paracetamol in the first day when there was fever. Covid sort of ran in the family and everyone recovered except this unsettling symptom in the child. The doctor recommended Wintus D syrup - 3ml x 3 times × 2 days. Is it okay to use this adult syrup in children? He also advised blood screening for Typhoid and Dengue. But my kid usually has cough not settling upto 2 weeks whenever he gets cold fever. Are those blood tests necessary?

It looks like upper respiratory tract infection. If fever is persistent for more than 2 weeks, get typhoid test done. Thank you
