This may be simple allergic cough due to some allergic agent around. Like dust, unclean furnishing, strong odor cosmetics, improper ventilation etc. When there is no fever, breathing difficulty or a wheezing sound during breathing or coughing antibiotics are not required. Antiamalarials cannot be given unless blood test is done and shows malaria. Simple paed cough syrup and saline nasal drops may suffice (avoid medicinal nasal drops. Ayurvedic drops like bresol drops etc should be effective and safe. Take precautionary measures as above. If symptoms worsen or child is restless it is advised to see a child specialist once.
