Hello. Your should not give cortimax as baby is just 9months old. As cough is persistent for 1 month, it is better to get him examined directly by a Pediatrician. Needs to examine his chest and throat and give proper management.

Its safe , but long term use can cause side effects of steroid, if ur child have persistent cough since 1 month then consider to consult physically and get an x ray
Proper history can tell further management
