Morning Cough
My daughter is 2years and 8 months..
She's been having morning coughs(as soon as she wakes up for around 10 seconds not continuous though) since last December..it's on and off episode.
Consulted her pediatrician and he's examined her and said there's mild wheezing as of now..on first examination Dr had prescribed levolin,fexagon and nasoclear saline drops..that doesn't seem to work,so now the Dr has prescribed Asthalin inhaler (2 puffs ,5-6 times a day) for 5 days..
Since then she's been having mucus(whitish/yellowish)out of her nose..she still has morning cough that has not subsided and cold too..
she's an active child,playful,no day time cough,no tiredness nothing..just worried why is her cough not subsiding.

For cold you can give syp cetrigine 3 ml once at night for 5 days,
Regarding cough, most likely it is due to post nasal drip, for this use nasal saline drops 3 times a day, steam inhalation, nasal decongestant drops like otrivin pediatric nose drops 3 times a day for 5 days.
As child active, playful, no need to worry much about cough as it is not disturbing his daily activities.
Health Tips
if still not useful, please consult a pediatrician
