Can We Give Zazathral 200 For My Kid As He Is Having Severe Cough And Body Temperature?

Hi, my kid is having sever coughing from last 2 days with body temp max 102. We have seen him by the doctor already and everything including lever and oxygen level normal. Due to his persistent coughing problem we are thinking him to give a dose of zazathral 200. He is going to be in this January. Do you recommend us to give him the drug if yes what should be the frequency and size of a dos?
