Basics: Studies in the US have found no benefit in the use of cough/cold meds in kids under 6 y. At 5 mo the prime reason for cough is to clear mucus in the airways triggered by a URI or environmental irritants. Dust, fumes, smells, etc. are common triggers that effect infants more than adults. Removing them from their sleeping area helps.
