Cough in Children
Usually, the cause of cough can be identified based on results of the doctor's examination. In children aged 6 months to 6 years, a foreign body in the airways must be considered. Chest x-rays are taken if children have warning signs or a cough that has lasted more than 4 weeks. Usually, cough suppressants and expectorants are not recommended; honey may be given to children older than a year.
