Question: Hi docs

My baby has cough and cattarh for like 5 days now We bought neofylin The cough subsides a Lil bit but the cattarh has refuse to go
Answer: Hi I will always advice parents not to self medicate for their babies while it might seem to work at times its can take a turn for the worse in some cases I will advise that you take that child to see a doctor for a proper assessment as times its not just ordinary cough and catarrh 

Cough syrups usually dont treat cough they just mask the symptoms and make it bearable also they are not usually advisable for babies in a lot cases 
Please note
A lot of cases of cough and catarrh are caused by viruses and they elapse within 4  5 days so usage of antibiotics very early is a waste of money and abuse of the drug
