Cough Problem

Asked for Male, 6 years

My three month old has a cough for 2 weeks. Its intensity decreases sometimes but then after a day or two, it increases. He usually coughs after feedings. I went to the doc he gave betnasol tablets, hackrid syrup and unifyline syrup also nebulizing 3 times with atom and saline. I gave him betnasol tablets for three days after that his cough was less. But now it has started again. He coughs at night which disturbs his sleep.

Dear Patient,

Make sure to position his head correctly during feeds. Sometimes while feeding the child's head is lying very flat and the milk enters his airways and ears causing these symptoms.

I'm attaching a video that can help. I wouldn't recommend give a newborn so many medicines. Just nebulize him with saline. If the coughing still persists kindly see a chest or child specialist.

For further consultation, you can choose from our list of best Pediatricians in Karachi and seek in-person advice.
