Cough/blocked chest

2025-10-27 20:16:17
Hello Doctor. My daughter is coughing a lot and seems like her chest is blocked. I am using Saline Nasal drops and giving her 5 drops each of Asthakind-P both in the morning and in evening. What else should I do? It becomes difficult for her to sleep at night because of the cough. Please help

Nebulise with hyperneb three times a day. Continue nasal saline drops and asthakind. If the child is not improving, consult a pediatrician for examination and further advise.
