Worth a re-check: Cough & cold symptoms may be complicated by ear or sinus infections as they work through their system. Symptomatic treatments seldom do much more than give you something to do. If you feel the kid is worse, it is worth a re-check to see what else is going on.

Sinusitis : Sinusitis and post nasal drip is one cause of prolonged cough. Please follow up with your physician.
