Cough from the past week

Question

Asked for Male, 4 Years

For the last week, my daughter has been experiencing a mild cough. After consulting with the doctor, we decided to give her relent plus syrup which has helped to alleviate the cough. However, the cough still persists and my doctor is unavailable for the next three weeks. I would appreciate any advice on whether or not to continue giving her the same syrup. For reference, my daughter is 3.8 years old and weighs 15 kg. She is currently taking 2.5 ml of relent plus syrup three times a day.

Hi. It must be upper respiratory infection if there is no fever and no other symptoms. Use it for 2 more days. If not coming down better get a phsyical consultation to see whether pneumonia present or not
