my son is 2 our house hold has had a cough, runny nose but no fever. As of last night his cough has just been horrible every few minutes and he is very congested but has no wheezing either. I dont know if i need to take him to dr or not, i am changing dr s so it would be awhile before i could get him in so i will have to go to urgent care but do not want to expose him to worse if he simply has allergy or something like that.
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query your son have symptoms of cough and congestion in the chest which seems to be due to chest infection/ chronic upper respiratory tract infection. I would suggest you to take nasal sprays and do warm saline gargles. You should take honey, ginger paste with hot milk as it is good for cough reduction. You should take antibiotic Levofloxacin in combination with antiallergic medication. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should get paranasal sinus x-ray done and start treatment after proper prescription. Avoid oily and sharp food.  Chat Doctor. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
