<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.Hi, This is regarding my daughter who is 2 years and 7 months. Since yesterday she is suffering from dry cough and the intensity has increased now, In the past, she was prescribed Alerid 5ml, 2 mm twice daily for 4 days. We are under the dilemma whethet to administer the same dosage since we are unable to contact her paediatrician. Looking forward to your valuable input.  <response>: Hi, Ale rid Syrup is used mainly for allergic cough. Since, now there is occurring a climate change so i dont think that it will be allergic cough. I suggest you to give Syrup Chirico 5 ml three times a day for 3 days. If fever or throat pain is also present than the child will require antibiotics. Hope I have answered your question, if you have any further questions I will be happy to help. Wishing your child good health.
