Hello
Welcome to healthcaremagic
According to my knowledge flohale contains salmeterol and fluticasone.It cannot be used in children less than 4 years old.So I think you better consult another doctor and stop it under his supervision. If cold cough is recurrent then your baby should be investigated(like cbc ,x ray chest,milk scan ,sos 2 d echo)
Hope this might help you.
Regards
