A severe wet cough with a runny nose is often due to a viral infection and usually improves with rest, fluids, and steam inhalation. If symptoms worsen, fever develops, or breathing becomes difficult, you should consult a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment.

Often, when allergies (treated with fexofenadine) or infections (treated with azithromycin) aren't the cause, chronic irritation from silent acid reflux is the culprit. An Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist can perform a simple test called a flexible laryngoscopy to look closely at your throat. They might suggest managing possible reflux with lifestyle adjustments or generic acid-reducers like omeprazole. With the right treatment to stop the underlying irritation, these tissues can absolutely shrink and disappear completely over time.

Hand, foot, and mouth disease typically resolves within 7 to 10 days, and the rash spreading can be a normal part of the process before it heals. While it is wonderful his fever has subsided, his continued vomiting is important to address. Because vomiting can lead to dehydration in a 17-month-old, please contact his pediatrician for a quick evaluation. In the meantime, continue the hydroxyzine (Atarax) and calamine to keep him comfortable, and offer small, frequent sips of fluid.

Both Montair LC and Allegra-M help manage allergies. They both contain montelukast, but their allergy-fighting antihistamines differ. Montair LC contains levocetirizine, which can sometimes make you feel a bit sleepy. Because of this, it is usually best taken in the evening before bed. Allegra-M contains fexofenadine, which is a non-drowsy antihistamine, making it suitable to take either in the morning or evening. You should take whichever one your doctor prescribed once daily, with or without food. Please follow your doctor's specific guidance for your treatment.

Yes, it is generally safe to give your father Paracetamol 650 (paracetamol) and Allegra (fexofenadine) for his mild fever and cold. Since his Covishield vaccination was 26 days ago, his current symptoms are likely due to a common cold rather than the vaccine itself. Paracetamol will help lower his fever, while Allegra will ease his cold symptoms. Please make sure he gets plenty of rest and stays well-hydrated. Given his age, it is important to monitor him closely. If his fever persists for more than three days, or if he develops any breathing difficulties, please consult his doctor for a personalized evaluation.

Since fexofenadine and montelukast aren't providing enough relief, your elevated IgE levels suggest an underlying allergic trigger that needs a closer look. I recommend discussing a referral to an allergist or an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist. They can evaluate you for conditions like cough-variant asthma and may recommend targeted therapies, allergy shots, or a sinus CT scan. In the meantime, using a daily saline nasal rinse and asking your doctor about a generic corticosteroid nasal spray may help soothe your airway.
