A member asked:

My 2.5yr old was on antibiotic and cough meds 6wks ago for fever, etc. now she is better but still coughing 24/7 very lightly. clear runny nose.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Allergic rhinitis: Allergic rhinitis and post nasal drip can cause frequent persistent coughing, and may improve with use of an over the counter non-sedating antihistamine such as Claritin or Zyrtec. Allergic rhinitis is often accompanied by hyper-reactive airways/asthma, which may require a prescription medication. Your pediatrician can help you sort this out. Best wishes...
