Taboos on taking medicine for baby's cough

For common coughs, the main focus should be on expectoration. Do not simply use cough suppressants, and do not take excessive amounts of cough syrup. Currently, most of the children's cough syrups produced in my country contain ephedrine hydrochloride, platycodon fluid extract, ammonium chloride, phenobarbital and other drug ingredients, and excessive use will have side effects.

Especially if the baby takes too much ephedrine hydrochloride, he will experience poisoning reactions such as dizziness, vomiting, increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, irritability and even shock. Therefore, do not abuse cough syrup for your baby, otherwise it will be harmful to your baby's health. Parents should give their babies medicine according to the doctor's instructions.
