Has been having a cough and cold for over a month now. There is nasal discharge of mucus and her cough has phlegm in it. She is otherwise eating and sleeping well, plays most of the time. We have tried giving her cough medication prescribed by the photos - Expect but it hasn't cured her. Now moved on to homeopathic medication but that hasn't improved her either. Important points to mention 1. She doesn't have any temperature 2. We treat her with steam at home 3. She is prone to getting colds easily hence no AC when she sleeps even as it is very humid 4. All her other discharges are very normal 5. Her nanny had TB and we asked her to come back when cured. She has returned after about 2-3 months and the doctor said she is fine to resume. Anyway her TB was not the cough variety but caused lumps in her shoulder. My concern is can it be that? I am really looking for home remedies and something different before I expose my daughter to harsh medicines.
