Pls prescribed medicines 5yr old have 16kg body wt and suffering from dry coughing since 10days?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Exam: A dry cough can be caused by many things. Have him checked by your doctor to see if he needs specific treatment. Cough medications are not recommended below the age of 6. Generally keeping his room cool and not too dry and using gentle saline to keep his nose clear might help. All the best.
