Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
The cough syrup you are giving is OK for you baby.
2.5 ml/dose 3-4 times daily will do.
Steam inhalation 1-2 times daily relieves congestion.
You may also use saline nasal drops locally.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
