What should I do to care for my 4-year-old son who has a lingering mild cough at night and after waking up, along with a slight sore throat, after recently recovering from COVID-19, considering he was prescribed Allegra and Zincovit?
It is very common for children to have a lingering cough and mild sore throat after recovering from COVID-19. Since your son is already taking Allegra (fexofenadine) and Zincovit, please continue these as prescribed by his doctor. To help soothe his airway and ease the nighttime cough, keep him well-hydrated with warm fluids and use a cool-mist humidifier in his room. Elevating his head slightly while sleeping can also provide comfort. If his cough worsens, or if he develops a high fever or breathing difficulties, please consult his pediatrician promptly.
