If u go to government hosp the doc will not give u the cough syrup. They will explain why.. The doc said that the cough syrup only will be given to kids 2 years and above.. Not recommend to give to infants below 2 years because they afraid there are side effect. From my experience.. My baby have flu & cough when he was 5 months and he has been warded & doc only gave a fepril syrup which is to threat fever & antibiotic due to low platelet that show there a virus is his blood. The cough is self recover and not threat by any cough medicine. If u don't mind.. U can bring ur child to government hosp & ask the gov doc. I think they will explain & treat ur baby very well.
If I were you, I won't give...
