Can Chericof Syrup Be Given To An Infant For A Prolonged Time?

My baby is 1 year 10 months old. She suffers all the times with heavy cough, flum and vomiting. If I give her 5 ml of chericof she will be little better and sleep. Any other may not work such effectively. Can I use this medicine for long time? Can I give nebilisation to my baby along with this syrup.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Chericof medicine is used in dry cough. As your baby have a wet cough with mucus production giving this medicine is not at all applicable. Who has prescribed you that medicine? kindly stop using it. you can use a wet syrup like Ambroxol. And for vomiting Ondan syrup. As you have not mentioned the weight of your baby its difficult to tell you the dosage. kindly meet a pediatrician and give correct dosage to your baby. Next time please mention the weight of your baby.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
