Conservative paediatrician

My 7mo currently coughing with a lot of phlegm, brought him to paediatrician and he prescribed prospan, Zyrtec and zenmolin for 3 days. After I give baby, i found out that medication can be very harmful to babies because their livers not fully developed... super guilty. Will there be any long term effects? Any recommendations for more conservative paediatrician who don't always just give meds?

Not sure why your pd gave Zyrtec… I like Dr Chong from Novena. But he is expensive. Very kind doctor and receptionists also nice. Need to book appt, often full/long queue. I think nasal sprays better option for babies at that age. Hope you find a better solution and baby to get well soon :(

Cough syrups for babies at that age just not recommended. It’s what the PDs at hospital told me. Suppressing their cough might end up causing breathing difficulties. Usually got other alternatives
