Toddler Cough especially at night
Hello, my 2.2 year old daughter has cough since 3 days. She is troubled while lying down at night, not much coughing during daytime, also heard her wheezing a couple of times. Though she didn't have fever but her body feels warm to touch. We tried giving Steam and Nebulization and cough syrup. Cannot visit doc due to lockdown. Please suggest the ideal medications and precautions required. Thank you in advance.
