Is It Safe To Use Baby Vicks For Mild Cough?
My daughter is 4 month old. She has mild cough. We have come to USA for two months from India and weather is bad here with snows and rains. We keep the house well heated and don't taken her out unless important. Can you please suggest me some medicine I can get here? I have T mimic and augmentin with me. And is it safe to use baby vicks?

Hello,
As your daughter is having mild cough so it may be allergic one.You can use t minic cough syrup that you have for this.It does not look like an infection that requires antibiotics like augmentin.So cough syrup will suffice.I do not advise you vicks to your baby as it contains some irritants that may not be good for baby.
Hope this helps.
Thank you.
