Relent syrup needs to be avoided in very small children as it can be harmful to a infant. You should consult nearby Paediatrician for more information and treatment of cough in infant. Self medication especially in children can be dangerous
Next Steps
Consult nearby Paediatrician for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
