Hello! The son is 6 years old, he has been diagnosed with strep throat, but throughout the night and day he coughs persistently. Dry cough, levopront does not work and nebulizations from physiological force also do not. What can I give him without a prescription? We don't have a doctor until tomorrow

If the cough is persistent, it is worth consulting a pediatrician - it may be necessary to use drugs with anti-inflammatory and bronchodilator effects, e.g. nebulization steroids, such as Pulmicort, Nebbud. Until the visit to a specialist, you can give an over-the-counter syrup that inhibits cough, e.g. https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/23154/dexapico-bronchonorm-syrop/apteki https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/71319/sinecod-syrop/apteki However, it should be borne in mind that these drugs only inhibit the cough reflex, do not cure the cause, so a visit to the pediatrician and the use of stronger agents may be necessary.
