Hi, my 2 yrs 3 mths old son had low grade fever of 99 F for two days and his pediatrician advised to give him calpol and start antibiotics after temp goes above 100 F. From Yesterday, though he is not having fever but has running nose and cough . Can I give him Dilo-DX Syrup which was prescribed for my daughter for throat infection?

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.

Dilo DX is used for Dry hacking cough associated with URTI & fever. It can be given. IT will be better if you ask him to do salt water gargling and steam inhalation.

Hope I have provided the information you needed.
Wish you good health. Take care.
