What's a good way to break down mucus in my 3 year old?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Guiafenesin: Guiafenesin is an expectorant that helps thin secretions in the correct dosage. Remember your three year old has a normal cough reflex and he can cough to keep secretions out of the airway, preventing pneumonia. The tricky thing is that it tastes hideous in suspension, so many liquid formulations for kids are actually " watered down" so to speak.
