This drug is available for human consumption. Infants with respiratory infections and cough, as well as non-ketotic hyperglycinemia are treated with DM, and it has been well tolerated. Participants will be randomized to either DM or placebo group. The study lasts 6 months, but may be prolonged until all of the participants complete 6 months of the trial. As some drugs interact with DM and alter its excretion, a complete list of medications taken by the child should be provided prior to participation in the study.
