Best medicine to reduce cough in a 3 yr old? She will not eat honey.
You realistically don’t really want to suppress a cough in small kids. Because then the bug they have, won’t work it’s way out. Unless they are miserable and it makes it hard for them to rest at all. Otherwise, there’s a cough medicine made by zarbees that’s decent.
Pineapple juice. Doesn’t suppress it but helps them cough it up
I use Zarbees for my daughter(she’s 7), I’ve been using it since she was about 2.
My child’s dr said not for children under 6. We just had to give some to my 5 year old because her cough was severe at night to the point of vomiting, but I definitely wouldn’t give any to a 3 year old based on recent research. Most of the cough medicine boxes say 6+.
Paediatrician don’t recommend cough medicine for kids under 6
