My doctor said it’s allowed from birth — the official license doesn’t forbid it, but he personally prescribes it only from age 2. Is it safe to give this to infants at all? What do you think?

It's best to avoid giving expectorants to children under three years old, because they can't cough effectively — especially newborns.

I understand your concern — please don't give syrups to babies this young. It's safest to avoid them altogether.

Cough syrups are generally not recommended for children under 3 years old. If your child has a cough, please consult your pediatrician for safe alternatives and guidance.

Starinchikova Elena Up to 5, and preferably up to 7. Even after that, they're usually not necessary.

It's generally best to avoid giving syrups to children. Offer plenty of fluids and use inhalations to help relieve symptoms. If you're unsure, check with your pediatrician.

Vedeneva Yuliya I'm feeling really confused and a bit worried. Some people say this shouldn't be done, but my doctor prescribed it. Does that mean the doctor is incompetent, or could there be another explanation? What do you think? I would appreciate your thoughts.

For very young children, cough syrups are generally not recommended because their cough reflex isn't fully developed yet. This means they often can't effectively clear mucus, so syrups may be ineffective or even unsafe.

Vedeneva Yuliya Please read the original evidence yourself. It's not given to children because of their physiology. If you're concerned about your doctor's advice, consider getting a second opinion from another physician.

Vedeneva Yuliya The medication is available as a syrup and as drops. It was prescribed in drop form.

Vedeneva Yuliya The main point is that this is an expectorant and it is recommended only for children aged two and older. I strongly advise the author to urgently seek a second opinion from another pediatrician.

Vedeneva Yuliya You won't believe this: two different doctors told me it's okay. I'm still in shock.

Vedeneva Yuliya Yes, I understand. I'm just really frustrated by all of this. The medical care feels inadequate, and there's so much information to read. You have to be able to filter it, but there's just so much...
Thank you ❤️

I wouldn't give this to very young children; they can't effectively clear their airways yet. It's generally recommended from age three, so I use Suprema Broncho — the manufacturer has been reliable 🙂
