My son is 3 yrs old with a horrible cough that has lasted over a week , what meds can i give him for it? he also has a runny nose and no fever

Umcka, homeopathy: Such coughs are usually viral in which case antibiotics don't help but you might want to see your doc to make sure he doesn't have pneumonia. If it's viral bronchitis the treatment proven most effective is an herb, pelargonium sidoides, sold as umcka- see http://bit.Ly/1f6rjci homeopathy also can help though treatment is individualized- see http://bit.Ly/h97vwf please don't expose him to smoke!
