A member asked:
9 years old son has been coughing in the morning for several days. it lasts for 5-10 minutes. during the day, he is ok just very little cough here and there. what could it be? will allergy syrup help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If he is otherwise we'll, an allergic reaction to dust or another trigger in his bedroom may be the cause of his cough. Other possible conditions include post nasal drip which may worsen overnight. The quality of the cough is important to describe. Rinse nasal passages with saline, monitor temperature and breathing. Allergy medication should only be used after consultation with your physician,HTap
