My daughter has what i describe as a persistent "wet" cough. she was prescribed bromfed. is this suitable for a 5 year old?

Old time practice: We did this for many years, more to give you something to do than for known effectiveness. About a decade ago the AAP and other medical groups moved to limit any such products under the age of 6, because of limited benefit vs the risk of kids overdosing when they decided to treat themselves.
