5 month old son coughing

2025-03-15 23:18:23
Hi, My 5 month old son has had cough and cold for more than 2 weeks now. I have been administering Ascoryl LS cough syrup but have not seen much improvement. Can you please suggest anything I can do to make him comfortable without the medication? I don't want to continue as he has already completed the recommended dude from the doctor with no sign of relief.

This is likely an allergic cough. Medicines need to be changed to bring relief. Please take a second opinion
