Time: Most supposed cough meds have been found to do nothing for kids in that age group. They are not recommended in the US under 6 due to frequency of overdoses/ER visits. Making sure there are no airborne irritants (smoke,fumes,dust, etc.) in the kids environment helps as does a vaporizer occasionally. Cough is a protective mechanism that helps bring up mucus or debris from deep in the lung.
