Suggest treatment for cough and cold in a child
Patient: my 9 yr old shih Tzu has been coughing and honking sound.. not all the time seems when she goes out in the cold was the onset .. I ve been putting we we pad out for her and won t let her out.. I don t want to take her to the vet unless I really have to.. is there something I could give from home? Doctor: As you have mentioned it is clear your daughter is suffering from viral infection nothing else. For this you have to give her cap amoxycillin 250 mg three times daily or tab cefadroxyl 250 mg twice daily after meals with tab no-cold or tab diominic-dca twice daily after meals for common cold with syrup asthakind or syrup grilinctus-bm 1 tsf three times daily for cough. You also have to take your daughter for salbutamol or duolin nebulisation at your family doctor's clinic as it is very helpful for the baby.
