Cold and cough 18 month old baby

2025-02-27 07:37:17
My son is 18 month old weight 10.3 KG,having cold and cough from 1 week but no fever. Consulted to doctor he advised to give Alerid twice 2.5 ML and Kufril thrice 2.5 ml for 5 days. Today is 6th day and doctor is out of town ,can we continue same medicine  or it would be harmful for him  now as he is still having cough now thick mucus is coming from nose ,earlier it was watery. Is this matter of concern.

This is likely a viral infection where cough can last 2 to 3 weeks. Continue the same medicines if the child is active. Better to visit a pediatrician for a check up.

Can stop alerid is nasal congestion is not troublesome.however, since symptoms have not subsided, it is better to consult again.
