My child has a cold and a cough. Which medicine would be best for treatment?

Asked by Female, 32 ยท 1 month ago

For most children, simple remedies like saline nasal drops, plenty of rest, and staying well hydrated can help with a cold and cough. You can also give a cough syrup or drops containing Chlorpheniramine and Phenylephrine, but consult a paediatrician for the correct dose and if symptoms persist or worsen.
