Hello doctor,
A 4-year-old kid of weight 33 lbs is having a general cold for almost three months. Sometimes cough, and nasal congestion. Otherwise, he is fine. He has no fever or weakness.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern for your child. As you told me, this is happening for long. And there is no fever, it seems to be some allergic condition. Are you still bottle feeding the kid? Is there any difficulty in breathing? Any sounds or snoring while breathing or sleeping? Give syrup Maxtra (Chlorpheniramine) one teaspoon thrice a day for five days. Nasal drop Xylomist P (Xylometazoline) one drop in both nostrils twice a day for three days.
Patient's Query
Thank you doctor,
No bottle feeding, and no difficulty in breathing. No snoring. But he is always sweating while sleeping starts even in the winter season.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
I would recommend to get a chest x-ray done if cough persists later, once this Covid-19 settles. Until then you give this medication.
I hope this helps.
