A Y replied: "Doctors and pharmacists are no longer allowed to recommend any cough medicine for children under 2. There was this whole thing that recently surfaced regarding a lack of studies indicating the effectiveness of cough medicine on children of this age. (This is why all the infant meds have been pulled from the shelves.) In addition, there were too many babies ending up in the hospital because of dosage errors. So, they are not allowed to give you a dosage for anything other than tylenol / motrin, ,etc. This being said, when my 18 month old had a horrible, nasty cold that was keeping her up all night because she couldn't breathe, I did call my ped and told them that I was going to give her some regardless, and would ____ be the correct dosage? (I can't remember what is was, exactly.) The nurse said, "If I were you, I would go ahead and give that to her." So, legally, they can't tell you. But, as long as it is given in the correct dosage, I don't think it will hurt her/him... of course, I am not a medical professional. :) Good luck!"
Heather replied: "No, not only are babies ending up in the hospital, but 6 died from it. It was taken of the shelves for a reason. They can have very bad reactions, and you shouldn't medicate unless it's absolutely needed, ie antibiotics. Try honey for the cough, and a humidifier for the stuffy nose, with tylenol for the sore throat! .I hope you little one feels better soon!"
