Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

Most often cough and cold is because of a viral infection which gets resolved without any antibiotic.

You can go ahead and give Tab Cetrizinee and syrup Ambroxyl. Please note that he might feel sleepy and drowsy after taking these medications. These are the normal side effects of the drug

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
