I'm really worried about my 2-year-old. He caught a cold a couple of days ago and then developed a severe dry cough that same night. Yesterday, his breathing seemed forced; he hardly ate anything all day and drank only a few sips of water. I nebulized him eight times, and today it seems like his breathing's a bit better. Im giving him Bro Zedex syrup and Alex Junior. The last time he had something like this, the doctor had to give him an aminophylline injection followed by nebulization. Do you think just using the nebulization will help this time, and will his condition improve? I'm really worried.

I'm wondering if it's okay to give my son a Limcee chewable tablet once a day since he often gets a cough. I've heard vitamin C helps with immunity. He's 7 years and 6 months old. Would this be safe and effective for him?
yes you can give for 1 week continously and then give once in a week for next 2 -3 months
