A member asked:
My son 6 yrs started persistent dry cough & gave him bromfed. now after 2 intakes w/ nebulization of ventolin there is phlegm. can i give him delsym (dextromethorphan)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes but: He may benefit from simple cool humidified air, warm apple juice with honey to sip and cough drops. Delsym (dextromethorphan) is an over the counter cough suppressant that is not more effective than honey.
