Is Mucolite Advisable For Cough In An Infant?
Brief Answer:
Cough and cold are viral in this age - No mucolite and antibiotic
Detailed Answer:
Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.
Cough and cold are viral 95% of the times in children.
It might be a nasal congestion. For nose block, saline nasal decongestants will do.
For nasal block, plain saline nasal drops will do, every 4-6th hourly to relive nasal congestion.
The safety of cough syrups and antibiotic is not established in this age group. please stop Kefpod which is an antibiotic and also mucolite.
Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
