Dry cough, i.e. one without secretions, is treated with preparations that inhibit the cough reflex and coat the mucous membrane (we eliminate the feeling of hoarseness and scratching, which intensifies the cough). All dry cough preparations are suitable for use both during the day and at night. One of the stronger cough reflex inhibitors available on the market without a prescription is Levopront (syrup). It can be used from the age of two, we give according to the leaflet 3 times a day. Availability, prices and the possibility of ordering with personal collection in a pharmacy can be checked at this link: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/92559/levopront-syrop/apteki A preparation that coats the mucous membrane, reducing the feeling of scratching and hoarseness is Petit Drill from 6 months to 6 years of age. Availability, prices and the possibility of ordering with personal collection at the pharmacy can be checked at this link: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/60853/petit-drill-syrop/apteki In the case of cough persisting more than 7 days in a small child, it will always be appropriate to contact a doctor to look for the cause. I would suggest contacting a pediatrician at your GP clinic. As for the use of inhalations from Berodual. Berodual is a bronchodilator, used after consultation with a doctor, diagnosis and medical examination. Do not abuse this drug on your own.
