It should not harm: Ur child. Without shaking the suspension, it's just more concentrated. Give him/her lots of water. Take care!

Cough syrups : No cough medication has been safely approved for children at that age.At this time the american academy of pediatrics recommends honey in children over a year old for cough relief.I am not familiar with ivy leaf extract so i can't give you a final answer on it but definitely can advise you not to use any meds that have not been recommended by your pediatritian.If it was px call prescriber x advise.
