Hi doctor, My baby is 1.2 years old and he have feaver cold and cough. My family doctor given me Bricarex A syrup. But I have a question is it safe for 1.2 yers old baby, because age limit written on the syrup bottle which is starting from 3 yr to Adult. So please suggest me is it safe for my baby? Thanks.

The bricarex A syrup contains gauifenesin, which is not recommended in children under age 2. Since baby is older than 1, you could try dark honey. I would also recommend nasal saline and gentle auctioning, as cough frequently is secondary to post nasal drip. a cool
mist humidifier may help, particularly if you are in a drier climate.
