A member asked:

What should you give a 4 year old for cough/runny nose for 3-4 weeks what should i do?

6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

See doctor.: If your child has had cough & runny nose nonstop for that long, it's time to see the doctor to see if there's a bacterial infection or allergies as the cause.
