Hello.

Thank you for asking at HCM.

I went through your son's history.

There are many causes of recurrent cough and it may not be asthma. Moreover, syrup Lorinase is an antihistamine (Loratidine) used in rhinitis and related cough. It is not a specific medicine for asthma or asthmatic cough.

So personally I would not recommend you to self medicate a child as young as 2 years. It is advisable to get him examined by a pediatrician who can find out the cause of recurrent cough and may suggest you appropriate treatment.

Hope above answer will be helpful to you.

Wish your son the best of the health.

Thank you & Regards.
