What should I do for my three-and-a-half-year-old son whose severe cough is keeping him awake all night, since neither Chericof nor Ascoril syrup has helped?
Since Chericof and Ascoril have not provided relief, please stop these medications and consult his pediatrician for a physical examination. In children under four, over-the-counter cough syrups are often not recommended and may not be effective. To help soothe his airways tonight, you can give him a teaspoon of honey, use a cool-mist humidifier in his room, and offer warm fluids to keep him hydrated. Please seek immediate medical care if you notice him breathing rapidly, wheezing, or struggling for breath.
