Huggs: Extensive studies in the us has found that OTC cough cold products do little or nothing of value in kids under 6. They do give you something to do, but beyond that they are a waste of time. An environment free of airborne irritants like dust/fumes helps. Cough is a natural protective event that brings debris up from deep in the lungs. I comfort the kid & let it pass.
