Hello. I would suggest a combination of antihistamine (cetirizine, levocetirizine, fexofenadine, etc.) and montelukast for symptoms of sneezing, running nose & cough for your child. However, if cough is severe, I would suggest you to consult a pediatrician who will examine his chest with stethoscope and will decide whether he needs nebulization or cough syrup such as Salmon Plus. I would suggest not to self-medicate a young child. Hope this was helpful to you. Wish your son best of the health. Regards.
