What over-the-counter medication can I give her to help relieve her cough so she can sleep and get better?

Question

Hello, For the last 3-4 days, my son has been coughing a lot. He is also congested. We give him sinus-rinses 4x a day. We put hydrasense on him and there is a humidifier in the room next to his room. He does not have a fever and his general condition is good! Oops, I forgot to mention He will be 2 years old in January

Hello Mrs., how old is your son? Thanks for the information! You are doing well with the hydrasense which I encourage as often as needed during the day and at least 30 minutes before bedtime. There is no maximum number of times per day Encourage him to drink often according to his preferences as well. A teaspoon of honey can also help relieve the cough. Syrups are not effective in addressing the source of the problem, which is the sinus discharge in the throat, unfortunately. I hope I've been helpful, and I'm available if you have any other questions! Tom Samaha, pharmacist
