What can i give my two year old son for coughing very badly and constantly .

Trip to doc: The OTC medications promoted for cough/congestion are relatively worthless in small kids. They would give you something to do, but beyond that they also have side effects & delay seeking proper evaluation on what may be a significant problem.

Monitor your son's temperature, discuss COVID 19 screening and other infections with your PCP. If your son has coughing fits, asthma and pertussis are other possible causes. Treatment options depend on the cause. There is one line of cough syrup preparations over the counter which has honey which is sometimes effective. It is important to know the underlying cause of the cough- MD visit.
