See Pediatrician : You did not say how old your child is or if he has a history of asthma or bronchitis. Do not give any “cough medicine “. None of the OTC cough medication work in children and some are harmful. See your Pediatrician. Give lots of fluid to drink. Keep in bathroom and run the hot shower. The steam helps to loosen the phlegm.
