###Human: Why is my kid suffering from cough for more than 10 days? ###Assistant: Hi. Cough while lying down is mostly due to cold (post nasal drip). As you have mentioned dry cough and if he does not have breathlessness, you can only give anti-allergic syrup along with honey. No need of giving Levoline and Mucolite. When cold will get over, his cough will subside. For more information consult a pediatric allergy asthma specialist online -->
