A member asked:

My daughter of 4yrs has a stuffy/runny nose and cough but no fever. she had the flu vac on monday. what would you recommend i give her to clear chest?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Time/ hugs: Studies in the US have shown most cough/congestion products have little if any benefit to kids under 6. They are statistically more likely to self medicate & end up in the Emergency room with an overdose than a true benefit. I would assure access to fluids & good nutrition & let it pass.
