What causes constant runny nose and dry cough in child?
Patient: My 6 year old daughter has a constant runny nose, dry croupyour cough and has run fever onot average 99 degrees for 2 days. She suffers from allergies and takes Allegra daily as well as a prescription nasal spray. We cannot seem to get her nose to clear up or her cought to go away. Are there any other treatments we can do at home to help? Doctor: HelloMost of the time this is allergic in origin. Sometimes it is really difficult to find out the culprit allergen.Some medications like montelukast on long term helps in controlling the symptoms.I would suggest you to observe for the allergens and consult a physician to start medication like montelukast or montelukast/cetrizine combination.Regards
