My2yr old gets cough every month.what precautions shud i take?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Common issue: A 2yo is expected to get between 5 & 7 respiratory infections /yr & some seem to do more. Good hand washing & basic hygene helps cut the numbers some. Also do a lifestyle audit. Kids are very sensitive to airway irritants. Smoke, perfumes, hairspray, cleaning fumes, burning incense or candles etc can all trigger a cough in kids. Reduce the irritants in your hove & avoid them when going out.
