Thanks for the update. Since you've already tried BroZedex (which contains bromhexine, guaiphenesin, and terbutaline) and your 7-year-old still has a severe cough, here are the next steps and possible alternatives based on the type of cough:
1. If the cough is still wet with mucus:
Add a mucolytic:
Mucolite (Ambroxol) Syrup – 5 ml twice daily
Helps thin out mucus better than BroZedex alone.
Steam inhalation twice daily with or without Karvol Plus capsules can help loosen secretions.
When to consult a doctor immediately:
Cough lasting more than 5–7 days with no improvement
Fever, fast breathing, chest pain
Vomiting after cough or poor appetite
Known asthma/wheezing history
