A member asked:
Can i give my son amoxicillin (for double ear infection) & cough medicine at the same time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually yes, but...: If a person has no problems taking amoxicillin and cough medicine separately, then he should not have problems taking them together. In the US, over-the-counter medications to treat cough or cold symptoms are generally not recommended for children under 6 years of age.
