A member asked:

Good day what cough medication can i give my one year old son for a dry cough?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Let him be: Studies in the US over a decade ago have shown little to no benefit of common cough meds to kids under six. They can actually thicken secretions where they are harder to cough up/out. Sometimes a little lemon juice added to a spoonful of honey will both help and be accepted by cranky kids.
