Can give brown cane sugar for 7.5mth old baby?

Baby is having very bad cough. There's no cough med for children below 2yrs old. Elders recommended giving brown rock sugar.. Is it safe..? #advicepls #firsttimemom #firstbaby

My GP did give my then 13mo was some cough syrup, centirizine or ask me to buy Illadin from pharmacy. My BB case is always nose block or runny nose that cause backflow mucus leading to coughs. Actually I don't think e rock sugar can help anything. Perhaps u can try giving her some probiotics to build up her immunity. What I will also do is the flush her nose with sterimar, the saline only version. Illadin can only use for max 5 days.

Have you seen a PD? It is best to get check - nose, throat and lungs to find a root cause of the bad cough

I did.. baby is less than 2yrs n lungs are clear, so doc can't give cough med.. instead was given med for runny nose only.. that's y thought of trying traditional method.. baby is struggling alot with the mucus buildup..

I wouldn’t. How about trying the AGO method? (Apple, garlic and onion).
