Can you give a 4 year childrens delsym (dextromethorphan) along with a breathing treatment for coughing?

Delsym (dextromethorphan): Delsym (dextromethorphan) is a cough suppressant and opposes the action of the breathing treatment. It is also not recommended for children under 6

Not recommended: If you're giving breathing treatment, I presume his cough is due to his wheezing, which comes from the lungs. Delsym is a cough suppressant which is supposed to suppress the cough caused by an irritation in the back of the throat. So it wouldn't help unless your doctor tells you that your child also has post nasal drip and told you to use Delsym for that.

Yes, you can: Give the breathing treatment first to see if that helps, use a cool mist vaporizor if available in child's room at night. If severe coughing, rapid respirations, trouble talking for child, to urgent care, after hours pediatrics, or ER
