Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Emeset syp is not evidence base medicine for small baby. If you can avoid, better not to give anything like this. If baby have cough and stiffy nose or runny nose then use normal saline nasal drops and few drops oral paracetamol will do the job.
Paracetamol dose is 25mg/kg every 5 to 6 hours as needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Akhtar Nawaz Khan
