Cough meds for 2.5 year old??

Question

Hi! I need recommendations. I have a 2.5 year old who is really congested and has a cough (none of us got sleep last night 😩). What cough medicine or decongestant is safe and effective?!

Answer

My pediatrician told me 3/4 teaspoon Robitussin or dimetapp cold & cough. It’s always helped my boys !

Answer

Zarbees is under fire right now for metal shards being found in their medicines. 
Our ped tells us to use benadryl or hylands

Answer

Zarbees and Vicks on the chest and bottom of the feet

Answer

My ped has had us use children’s Benadryl (only a little-I forget how much) and it dried her out. Also, honey can help soothe the throat. You aren’t really supposed to give cough meds that young, but I found a toddlers cough medicine that didn’t have any bad ingredients and contained honey

Answer

Zarbees, hyland, vicks, tylenol, mortrin, nasal sprays, they might make a kids robitussin not sure.  Humidifier to help break up the mucus along with some soup.
