Hello - my 1 year old daughter has developed a chesty cough over the last few days. We took a flight on Friday evening back to the UK which was extremely cold and I think that might have started it. It's got worse over the last few days. We have alternated giving her Neurofen and Calpol, but is there anything else we should give her? We dont want it to get worse

she is taking food well. No loss of appetite. She has only vomited her bottle up a little when she has coughed

no vomiting from sickness
Expert:  Khizra Naz replied 8 days ago.

It's likely viral infection, you need to observe her fever, diet.

If at any point, she decreased food, start vomiting, she might need physical exam and will need antibiotics at that time.
