Suggest OTC Medicines For Cough And Sneezing In Children
My 10yr old has hoarse cough & nasal congestion. Dr only gave her Loratidine & Keflex. My 7wk old developed a small Cough last night & has been sneezing nonstop all day an lots of clear mucus is coming out. Is there any OTC med I can give an infant to stop her sneezing & coughing? Its disturbing her sleep.

Hi....At this young age of 7 week there is no over the counter medication for using in cold and cough. There is no medicine with established safety standards or licensed to be used at this age group. At the most, you can use saline nasal drops for nasal congestion.
