Hello,
Coughing in young babies as yours three months old could be due to :
- Respiratory issues (which has been ruled out by her pediatrician; lungs are clear)
- Acid reflux
- Increased production of saliva as this is the period for teething.
-The Mucolite syrup contains ambroxol, which is mucolytic, it will help dissolve phlegm and reduce salivation.
-Raise her head from shoulders up to ease sleep.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini
