We consulted a child specialist 15 days ago who prescribed Febrex Plus, Kofrest, and Cefacin, but the cough hasn't stopped.

Asked by Male, 12 · 28 days ago

An allergy, post-viral cough, asthma, or sinus discharge could be the cause of a cough that lasts longer than two weeks. If the cause is not bacterial, antibiotics like Cefacin might not be helpful. Inhalers, allergy medications, or other testing may be required, so please see a pediatrician or pulmonologist again for a reevaluation.
