Is It Safe To Give Ambrodil For An Infant For Cough And Cold?
Hello Doctor, My child is 2 months 22 days old. His weight is 5.8 Kgs. He is suffering from Cough and cold . His Cold is quite a lot and we are giving him Nasoclear drops. As for his cough, we have been prescribed Atrax and Ambrodil S. Is it fine for giving Ambrodil S(2ml). Or is there any home remedy we can add-on.

Hi...there are no cough and cold medications which have been licensed to be used in this age group. I suggest you use only nasoclear saline nasal drops. Sometimes cough and cold medications make kids too drowsy and hinder feeding and another issue is that they might cause increased heart rate.
