Can I give my 10 month old cough syrup while giving Motrin?

Question

My 10-month-old has a really bad cough and is fevering. Can I give him the zar bees cough syrup while giving Motrin when needed? Sorry idk I’m first time mom and not sure.

Answer

If it’s the Zarabees for under 12mo (no honey), then yes. It’s just designed to coat their throats and doesn’t have a pain reliever in it.

Answer

As long as it’s the Zarbees BABY then yes. There is no medication in that, it’s just agave syrup to help coat their throat similar to honey.

Answer

I would speak to the pediatrician for their recommendation.

Answer

Please call your pediatricians office to get advise. I’m a nurse and these types of questions are best answered by a medical professional as they have a history of your child.

Answer

Please be very careful when given children over the counter cough syrup. Most of them have Tylenol or Motrin in them too so could accidentally overdose if you’re also giving Tylenol or Motrin separately.
Additionally there have been studies that show cough medications do not actually help reduce cough in children but could increase risk if death through respiratory depression.
Hydration, humidity and honey do work, but don’t give honey to anyone less than a year old.

Answer

What Mel said. As long as there isn’t medication in both.
