Will 3ml Dosage Of Coscopin Have Adverse Side Effects In A Baby?

Hi doc my baby is 5 month old and my doc suggested coscopin 3ml 3 times a day. Is it OK to give so high dosage to small baby. I was hesitant so initially I gave him 1.5 ml then 2.5 ml and 3ml and 1.5 ml. Total 4 dosage. Doc told he has dry cough . I am worried. He has cough from last 1 month. We thought it will be cured by its own. But now me worried for side effects of this medicine

Hi
Thanks for the query to HCM .
Sorry to hear that your baby is having dry cough .
Coscopin is prescribed ( noscapine 1.83 mg, sodium citrate 0.67 mgwhile ammonium chloride 7.0mg).
This is a normal dose for a baby of 5 month , so don't worry about the side effect of these ingredient as all are safe and dosage are according to age .
As you stated that your 5 month baby is having dry cough for 1 month.
In my opinion , consult one more paed doctor for 2nd opinion for dry cough because cough is for 1 month.
Hope this information will be useful for you .
Good luck for baby.
