A mild cough in children is quite common and often settles on its own within a few days. Make sure your child stays hydrated, and the room air is not too dry, as this can worsen the cough. Keeping the nose clear and avoiding dust or cold air can help reduce irritation. If the cough continues or disturbs sleep, consult your doctor for guidance.

Cough, cold and fever during weather changes are usually due to a viral infection or seasonal sensitivity. Focus on warm fluids, rest and steam inhalation to ease congestion and throat irritation. Keep yourself warm and avoid exposure to cold air or dust. A cough syrup may help, depending on the type of cough, but it is not the same for everyone. Consult your doctor to choose the most suitable syrup for your symptoms.
