<s>[INST] I gave my 13 month baby 2 x 5ml spoons of Calpol Calcough then some water then half 5ml spoon as he was coughing really bad. (I used the spoon whicChatDoctore with it) The box said give 1-5 year olds 2x 5ml spoons but as its not medicated and just glycerol solution is giving extra half 5ml harmful? [/INST] Thanks for posting on Chat Doctor. Cough and cold, a viral condition referred to as bronchiolitis, is pretty common in child Chat Doctor.  Cal cough contains glycerine. The dose mentioned on the package is for laymen. Doctors calculate pediatric doses based on the body weight. There is no harm in case of slightly more dose being given. But rather than giving it, I would suggest nebulization or steam inhalation which will help in diluting the cough and provide relief. Hope that helps. Feel free to revert in case of further queries if any. </s>
