My 8-month-old daughter has had a cold with fever and cough for two days. The doctor prescribed Asthakind syrup, Pacimol drops, and Bactogard dry syrup, but she is still coughing. How can I help her?
It is common for an 8-month-old to keep coughing for a few days despite taking the medicine. Make sure your daughter takes all medication exactly as prescribed, keep her well hydrated, and use a humidifier or gentle steam to ease congestion. Monitor her breathing, feeding, and temperature, and contact your doctor immediately if the cough worsens, she has difficulty breathing, or the fever persists beyond a few days.
