My 3 1/2 year old has a cough and cold. he is very congested and his cough is steady through out the day and night. when takes a deep breath it is fallowed with a cough. he does nt have any weasing, but i can hear alot of mucus in his chest when he coughs.
Congested nose and cough are signs of viral respiratory tract infection, its usually is a self limited disease but if the cough is very disturbing you can give him any cough syrup which will not remove the cough, but it will decrease its intensity, you can give him sine cod syrup 4 times a day. If your child has fever, difficulty in breathing, or rapid breathing watch out, because these are signs of pneumonia and physical exam is needed by his pediatrician. I hope this helps
