Cough and Congestion

Asked for Male, 6 years

My newborn is suffering from cough and congestion from past 15 days, we have shown him to two different doctors here who have prescribed CoFerb & nebulization (been doing this for 7 days now but he is better by 10-15% only) Just want to know if I can do something to reduce the cough and help him have some good sleep. Please if any pediatric doctor may guide here. Thank you! (He always throw up after having CoFerb just immediately after the feed)

Dear Patient,

How many days or months old is your child now? Have you put norsaline nasal drops in his nose before bedtime and before a feed? Keep his room dust free, buy a mist humidifier from any good pharmacy and keep it on where he sleeps. Putting ajwayin in soft muslin cloth near his nose at bedtime will help keep it open. Applying warm mustard oil mixed in Woodward's chest rub to his chest, back, armpits and soles of feet can help keep him warm.

I wouldn't advise giving your child coferb. Nebulize with a small amount of Atom mixed in saline- twice a day.
