Most often cough and cough in child Chat Doctor.  Irrespective of treatment, such a condition generally lasts for a week or so. Your doctor has prescribed the right medicines, and it should be enough to treat the cough, but it might have been better if the child could have been given nebulization. Steam inhalation is a good home alternative for nebulization while the medicines might be continued. Water in the form of vapor reaches deep into the lungs and helps in diluting the cough and provides relief. You will have to be a bit patient but in case the child develops lethargy, increase rate of breathing or wheezing, you will have to take him to your doctor without delay.
