In this situation, it is recommended to use a technique described in a document from the hospital Ste-Justine. Using a syringe without a needle and saline water, you can help clear your child's nose and reduce mucus, which can help alleviate coughing. Administer 5 mL of saline water per nostril, 5 times a day for 3 to 5 days. If symptoms persist after 5 days or if your child develops a fever, it is advisable to consult a doctor.
