Is It Safe To Give Asthalin Syrup Frequently To A 2 Year Old?
Hi Dr.,
My son is nearly 2 yr old now. His pediatrician advises us to give him asthalin syrup whenever he gets cough. This has been the case for the past 6 months or a lil more. My son gets down with cold and cough very often as well. How safe is to use the asthalin syrup this frequently? Also the dosage is 3ml thrice a day. Please advise.
Many Thanks,

Excess dose may cause some irritability,tremors and palpitations. otherwise drug is quite effective and safe in children.Dose depends upon the weight of the child
