A member asked:

Hi. my son is 1yr 1month. he has a runny nose, thick mucous and a cough that sounds like its wet. what otc medicine can i give him?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nothing: Lengthy studies in the US has found that OTC cough/cold products provide little or no benefit to infants or any kid under 6. Most will benefit from clearing their nasal mucus with saline nose wash. Beyond that & good nutrition any otc meds just give you something to do.
