Thoughts: Data in research in the USA found cough/cold preparations have no benefit in kids under age 6. ER visits for overdoses led to recommendations they never be used as of more than a decade ago. At that age airborne irritants, dust, perfumes often trigger coughing. Efforts to clean the air with filters/remove odors/perfumes help some.
