Atarax (hydroxyzine) is not typically used to treat a dry cough in children. Since a dry cough can have various causes, including allergies, infections, or asthma, it’s important to consult your paediatrician to determine the underlying cause and receive the most appropriate treatment. Self-medication, especially in children, is strongly discouraged, as it can lead to severe complications. Do not use any medication unless specifically advised by the doctor. This ensures the child receives the safest and most effective treatment tailored to the underlying cause.
