Suggest Treatment For Chest Congestion And Cough In An Infant
20 months baby, suffering from congestion, cough. Taking alex p syrup, drowsiness. Should i change medicine? Hello Dr, I ve a 20 months old baby boy who is down with congestion and pretty bad cough. This was caused due to travel and esp due to change of weather. We were advised to give him alex p syrup thrice a day(2.5 ml each time). But it makes him too drowsy. Is it safe to give or there could be a better medication for cold congestion and severe cough.
