Brief Answer:
yes don't worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
Macbery junior is a pediatric cough syrup.
The dose for a 5 kg child can be 2 to 2.5 ml thrice daily.
No issues.
You can give the dose as recommended by your doctor.
It is safe.
Cold and cough is usually viral and will settle in a few days.
Nebulisations will help in bringing out the secretions by dilating the air passages.
If symptoms persist consult your doctor again.
Wishing your child good health.
Regards
Dr Arun
