Cough Syrup

Hi parents, I just want to make sure if it’s safe to give my baby Prospan cough syrup? My baby has been coughing. I’ve been to Polyclinic but the doctor did not supply any medicine for cough when my baby was having fever.

How old is your baby? if under 6 months, they won't be prescribed cough syrup as it's unsafe at this age. Coughing is a protective mechanism to prevent baby from suffocating or choking, so if suppressed when they're too young, it may be risky. Best to check with doctor instead of self-medicating.
