Avoid such medications for such small kids. Not recommended. You just give nasoclear drops 3-4 times a day. If congestion is severe, you can try nebulization with hyperneb respules. This only clears off congestion without any side effects. Cough medications are not recommended before 2 years of age. You can also try saline spray for him.
