What can I give my baby for cough ?

stacy

My baby is 23 months she’ll be 2 years next month 11/29

She’s been sick for what feels the longest. She has runny and stuffy nose with cough and fever that comes and goes. Dr gave me antibiotics for ear infection only 1 ear was red is what she said, she’s also on the machine only when the coughing is bad. Can I do the cough pops? I had got some Hylands cold and cough medicine but I don’t see it working on her.
