How long will it take for treatment with Atroven and Benodil to bring relief to a child with a tiring cough caused by laryngeal irritation, if there is no improvement after several inhalations?

I fully understand your anxiety, but with severe irritation of the larynx, the process of mucosal regeneration takes time.

In the case of laryngeal irritation, improvement usually occurs after a few days of regular treatment. Atrovent has a diastolic effect on the respiratory tract and helps inhibit the cough reflex relatively quickly (full effect after about 1-2 hours), while Benodil is an anti-inflammatory steroid whose full therapeutic effect usually develops after a few days (from 3 to 7) of regular use.

With an irritated larynx, the medications themselves can dry out the mucous membrane, which paradoxically maintains the cough. It is very important to give your daughter plenty of water to drink between inhalations from medication and to use saline or hyaluronic acid nebulizations (e.g. Neobudic, Nebu-dose hyaluronic), which will "extinguish" the fire in the throat. It is also worth taking care of proper air humidification, frequent fluid administration and avoiding irritants.

If after 2-3 full days of using this combination the cough does not change to a milder nature or fever and shortness of breath appear, it is necessary to consult again to rule out the development of a bacterial infection.
