answer:Dear parent, for cough you should give a cough suppressant as dextromethorphan and an expectorant if the child has phelgm as mucinex. give these medications for one week if the cough didn't resolve then there is an element of allergy so you should give an antihistaminic as citrizine once before bed or singular sachets once daily for 14 days
