Dear user,
As this is a free question, I will answer it, although you have addressed it to another pediatrician.
Although the medicines you have used are okay for a child of 3 years, it is essential to take your son to a doctor to first evaluate what kind of cough he is having. If, God forbid, he has a bronchial cough, Prospan will not work and he will need a bronchodilator.
