2026-01-18 03:49:52
Hello doctor… my baby is 3 yr old. She had cough and cold from last 2 days. Today doctor prescribed her HHLINCTUS junior syrup for dry cough and montair lc for cold… is this medicine is safe for baby? Because I googled about cough syrup there mentioned Chlorpheniramine Maleate (2mg/5ml) + Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide (10mg/5ml) is not good for baby under 5 yr. Is this true?
