Suggest Medication For Dry Cough

Hi, My son is 1 yr and 5 months. He used to get wheezing often until 1 year. But now he is getting dry cough alone and its not severe like wheezing. Previously dr suggested us to give levolin syrup and levolin puff. Now for past two days he got dry cough alone, can i give him levolin syrup.

Hi...for dry cough Levolin will not be of much use if there is no wheezing. If you are 100% sure that it not wheezing then you can use a cough syrup after consulting your pediatrician. I am telling this because many of the cough syrups are prescription drugs and some combinations should not be used in this age group.
