A member asked:

Can i give my 3 months going to be 4 now cough syrup given by her pedtriatition? my mil says her immune system will not boost if given medicine.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I wouldn't: I never use cough medicines in a baby 3 months old because i don't think they do any good. It probably does not effect their immune system.Some of those preparations have components that thicken the mucus and actually increase a babies difficulty.
