Why is my 10-month-old baby?s cold and cough not improving after two days of taking Monticope, and what should I do if her coughing gets worse while she is sleeping?
Viral coughs and colds often take 7 to 10 days to resolve, so two days of Monticope (levocetirizine and montelukast) may not show complete relief yet. Coughing often worsens at night because mucus drains down the throat when lying flat. To help her sleep, try elevating her head slightly by placing a rolled towel under her mattress, use a cool-mist humidifier in her room, and apply saline nasal drops before bed to clear her airways. Please keep her well-hydrated. If she develops a high fever, fast breathing, or seems very lethargic, please consult her pediatrician right away for a physical evaluation.
