But I havent seen ant dosage instruction for a 3 mnth old on the bottle. so wondering if I should continue. My boy is doing good otherwise (no fever and is active). Please suggest.

Hello Sir/Madam
I think your son has got only a simple upper respiratory infection.I would advise you to stop the drug.If he has persistent cough or fast breathing or difficulty in breathing you can consult your pediatrician.If your country permits over the couter medicine availability,you can get CETRIZINE syrup and give him 2 mg twice daily for 3 days and stop.Please calculate the dose after seeing the concentration on the bottle.
