Hello, my child is 2.5 year old, weight approx-12kgs and it seems she is allergic to something, very often , i mean on monthly basis she starts sneezing or coughing, not too badly but this goes on for 2-3 days.  We have been visiting doctor on regular basis and now she has been responding very well to Corex Dx cough syrup, just wanted to check on time intervals it can be given or how do we take necessary precautions for overdose
Hello. Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your daughters' history. I would like to suggest you as follows for your query:1. As she responds well, to Core DX and every time her symptoms subside within 2-3 days, there is not much to worry. However, please make sure that you are giving her Core DX according to your pediatricians suggestion and not more than that dose.2. Not all coughs and sneezes are same. So I would never recommend to self-medicate such a young child. Its always desirable to see a pediatrician should she develops symptoms.3. Contents of Core DX can sometimes cause sedation, Chat Doctor.  Do look for side effects if you give it to her. Also, the content, dextromethorphan, is not the medicine for all the types of cough in child
