Question: what medicine to give a 2 year old for cough?
Answer: Honey. For older toddlers, honey works by thinning congestion and loosening a cough. People can give a toddler aged 1 or over a spoonful of honey, as needed, to relieve cough symptoms. The Cough Expert Panel says that honey may be better than an antihistamine (diphenhydramine) or no treatment for coughs.
