Patient: Hi, My daughter is six and half months old due to bad weather condition from last two she is suffering from cold and cough , initially she was coughing two or three times a day but from yesterday night she coughing like sometimes she vomiting also ,so that lead me consult with pediatric and got consulted and was referred to give soventus jr. cough syrup 2.5 ml as single dose three time a day for at least three days. So should I go with this or Is their any better treatment possible. Rgds. Sudi Doctor: Hi... By what you quote it seems that initially your child has cold but now she has developed wheezing. In wheezing there is increased cough episodes at night and early morning, usually child requires nebulisation in wheezing. I suggest you to go to the pediatrician again and get the chest examined. Till then continue the cough syrup. I hope this has helped you. Take care. Regards - Dr Deepak Patel, MD Pediatrics
