A member asked:

Hi is duolin safe for my 5 month baby (weighs 8 kgs) he has congestion which we have been giving saline drops but has had chesty spasmic cough?

Check first: Not without checking with your baby's pediatrician. They would probably want to listen to his lungs first, and if felt appropriate, tell you the correct dose.
