Greetings.
Over-the-counter cough syrups are unsafe for a 15-month-old due to risks like severe breathing problems and sedation.Levocetirizine is an antihistamine often prescribed to dry up a cough triggered by post-nasal drip or allergies.To soothe her throat safely, give half a teaspoon of plain honey, use a cool-mist humidifier, or try saline nasal drops.
