Specializes in Pediatrics

Cough: Your child may have a post nasal drip which is the cause of his cough. Use salt water nose drops four times a day and the vaporizer when he goes to bed. Keep the vaporizer on when he sleeps at night. Have him sleep on several pillows. Use vaporub on his chest and push fluids.
