My 6 year old daughter has what I believe to be an Allergy induced throat clearing cough that has gone on for 3 weeks now. I think it is throat clearing because it is not episodic, but a one cough burst and she claim tickling at throat. She is on Claritin once a day...although it seems to help other allergy related symptoms, it doesn t seem to address the post nasal drip. Is there something you can recommend? The Claritin is antihistamine only.
Hi, according to me your kid is suffering from some allergic symptoms. To help her come out of this, I would recommend you to give her warm water to Chat Doctor.  This will definitely help. Antihistamines cannot be given for a long term for the simple reason that it would not work and the body gets addicted. You can consult your doctor and probably ask for nasal sprays which would reduce cold and post nasal
