Dear Customer
Welcome, and thank you for trusting us
A child who has a cough, mild fever, and runny nose probably has a common cold
But coughs with a fever of 39 or higher can sometimes be due to pneumonia, especially if a child is weak and breathing fast

How is cough treated?

• Most coughs are caused by viruses and have to just run their course. Sometimes, this can take up to 2 weeks

• Doctors usually don't prescribe antibiotics because these only work against bacteria
• Unless a cough won't let your child sleep, cough medicines are not needed
• Do not use OTC combination medicines
• Cough medicines are not recommended for any children under 6 years old.
• A cool-mist humidifier in your child's bedroom might help with sleep.
• brief exposure to cool air outdoors can relieve the cough
• Cool beverages like juice can be soothing
• keep your child hydrated
