Suggest Medication For Cold And Cough

My 2 year old daughter has cold and cough since a day. I started with Mucolite syrup 2.5 ml twice a day. Her doctor has prescribed it along with other medicines such as pecef and zedex-P when she was suffering with pnemonia last month. Can I give her Mucolite and T-minic together or is Mucolite syrup effective for cold and cough both?

HI..please do not mix medicines without medical advice. Some of these medicines when added can cause extremely high heart rates called supraventricular tachycardia. Cough and cold are viral 95% of the times in children. For cold you can use anti-allergics like cetirizine and for nose block, saline nasal decongestants will do. She might develop some fever and if so, Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15mg/kg/dose every 4-6th hourly, that too only if fever is more than 100F.
