Cold and cough 18 month old baby
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.
