A cough lasting a month despite regular reports may be due to allergy, post-infection irritation, or environmental triggers. Since there is no improvement with the current treatment, it is best to consult your doctor for reassessment and possible change in approach.

I'm sorry to hear that your child has been dealing with a persistent cough for a month despite treatment. It can be frustrating when symptoms linger even after thorough check-ups and medication.

Mucolite contains Ambroxol hydrochloride, a mucolytic agent that helps thin and loosen mucus in the airways, making it easier to clear. Azithrol (Azithromycin) is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections. Since the cough has lasted this long and initial treatments haven't resolved it, there could be other causes such as allergies, asthma, or less common infections that might need further evaluation.

Here are some suggestions:

  • Follow up with a pediatric pulmonologist (a lung specialist for children) to explore other possible causes of the cough.
  • Consider if there are any environmental factors like exposure to smoke, allergens, or irritants.
  • Monitor for any new symptoms such as fever, difficulty breathing, or weight loss, and seek urgent care if these occur.
  • Avoid self-medicating or extending antibiotics without medical advice.

Persistent cough in children sometimes requires specialized assessment including lung function tests or imaging. Please consult your child's pediatrician or a pediatric pulmonologist for a detailed evaluation and tailored treatment plan. If symptoms worsen or new concerning signs appear, seek medical attention promptly.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.I understand you're concerned about your child's persistent cough.
