Can i give my 3.5 year old robitussin (guaifenesin)? if so, how much? her cough is so bad she is throwing up sometimes from gagging.

Nasalsaline/M.D.: She should be seen by your pediatrician to determine the cause. Your doctor may order an imaging test, viral and pertussis screening, and treat bacterial causes of an infection. Keep her well hydrated, monitor her temperature, and reduce post nasal drip associated cough, with nasal saline for children which is as effective as cough syrup/most kids.
