Hi, protussa cough syrup is good in dry cough but syrup albuterol has no role in this rather it is contraindicated in this case as it is a expectorant.
If your son his having persistent coghy since 3 days then I think he will require oral antibiotics like azitromucin or from cephalosporins in syrup form but only n only after pediatricians consultation.
