Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi,
Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.
I suggest you to not to give this drops without prescription.
Whenever the child gets cough, he needs physical examination by the doctor to look for throat and lungs findings where the type of medication may vary.
Hence I advise you to consult the pediatrician and use medicines whenever they are prescribed to the infant.
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards.
