Specializes in Pediatric Allergy and Asthma

Saline and Mist: Most cough syrups are not very effective and diagnosing the cause of the cough is of utmost importance. If you are still having fever on anti- flu medication, please see your PCP, it may be related to pneumonia or bronchitis.In the meantime, use nasal saline mist and a cool air mist humidifier to relieve symptoms.
