Hi My 4.5 month old baby is suffering from cold n slight cough. The doc here has prescribed wikoryl af syrup 3.5ml thrice a day for 5 days. But i am concerned as ive read that this syrup is not recommended 4 babies as it causes respiratory depression. Im scared and worried now as i have already administered 2 doses.

Hi,

Wikoryl in prescribed recommended doses give excellent results at 4.5 months age. Additional lukewarm water fumes near the cradle will support better. Wishing you fine recovery.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
