Regular Cough and cold
Hello sir/madam,
I have a 4year old kid. She regularly suffers from wet cough and cold. Every day she is on medication for the same. I am scared of her health as she is been given medicine daily from past 5month for the same.
Once in a month we also do the nebulisation process so that phlegm in her throat reduces.
Please suggest a way to get rid of this phlegm from her throat.
Is there anything that we can give her to improve her immunity.please suggest a way.
Thank you.

cough needs to be treated with anti allergic and expectorant bronchodilators or antitussives medicine which should be given only after a proper evaluation by the doctor according to the type of cough.
if fever is there paracetamol can be given to reduce the fever and the dose can be repeated after 6 hours again if required .
