Is Piriton Syrup Advisable For An Infant?
My baby is being sick from coughing so much, she is only 7 weeks old but was 3 weeks prem. Doctor prescribed piriton syrup but is that ok as it says on bottle not to give to babies under age of one yet the coughing really worries me as I think she will choke and not be able to breath
