Hello
The above syrup is used for cold, runny nose, and dry cough, it is generally not recommended routinely in children under 6 years unless specifically advised by a doctor.
Combination cough syrups may cause drowsiness, irritability, or upset stomach.
Cough and cold in children are usually viral and self-limiting in 5–7 days.
Over-the-counter cough suppressants do not shorten illness duration and may cause side effects.
Next Steps
If child has mild symptoms: avoid unnecessary syrups.
If cough is disturbing sleep or very frequent, consult your pediatrician for age-appropriate dose or safer alternatives.
Monitor for red flags: difficulty breathing, high fever >3 days, wheeze, or refusal to feed.
Health Tips
Use saline nasal drops 3–4 times a day.
Keep the child well hydrated.
Honey (for >1 year) with warm water or tulsi may help soothe dry cough.
