Cough in 5 month old
Hi, My baby boy is 5 month old, he was having fever last week with some cold and cough, Our doc has suggested T98, Solvin Cold, Moxikind Cv for 3 days and asked us to visit back if the fever still persists. His fever has gone down in 2 days.I have stopped the medicines after 3 days.
But starting yesterday he is coughing alot which looks like a dry cough. I am giving Solvin cold 6 drops and Asthakind syrup 6 drops at different time intervals along with Nasal drops. Please let me know if what I am doing is correct and suggest the dosage. I will consult a doc tomorrow or day after if the cough still persists as my paed is not available today. Please suggest if there is any other remedy I can implement to reduce his cough.

Your treatment and dosage is correct. 5 month olds cannot be given strong medication.
