REGARDING COUGH
My son is 27 months old and is coughing. Initially it was mild ( 3 days back) . Now i am observing it was increased. I am giving him warm water and tulsi cloves infused water along with 1 tablespoon of Ginger turmeric and honey once in a day. How much time it will take to cure and anything else I can do ? According to government guidelines we can't give coughing syrups. What is can do more? I have levosalbutal respules can I give him nebulization ( previously prescribed by his pediatrician). Thanks in advance

Hello,
I understand your concern.
Please not that it is not advisable to prescribe any medication for a 2 year old child without examination.
Next Steps
I would suggest to meet your Pediatrician who can examine the chest before giving treatment.

Greetings kindly hydrate the child well, give warm water . Usually it takes time to settle down. If not settled down by 5 days u can visit the Pediatrician in person. Avoid nebulization in home
