Specializes in Pain Management

See a pediatrician: Most likely, your daughter is suffering from a minor condition such as the common cold or allergies. However, a cough could be a sign of a bronchitis, or pneumonia. See child's pediatrician for diagnosis and proper treatment.

Try a cool mist: vaporizer and if not improving take him to the doctor.
