Is Asthalin Safe For 2-month-olds?
My baby age is 2 months and 10 days. He is having cough since almost a month... Now it has worsened a bit. He can t sleep sometims because of the cough in his throat or blocked nose. He keeps clearing his throat. Can we use a nebuliser for treatment. My friends kid had similar issues and they gave her asthalin repsules. Is asthalin safe for 2 month olds. If yes what is the dosage ? Please advice. Thanks

Hello,
Asthalin is not recommended at this age because it might cause a high heart rate. Saline nebulization can be a better option. Consult a pediatrician and he will direct you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
