Honey is the best for kids 12 month and above
Dimetapp elixir
Best to give the child honey, popsicles. Otherwise, Sambucus over-the-counter. Can also give Robitussin DM.
I like honey for cough like zerbee. It is natural, it has no chemicals in it, it has no preservatives, it is tasty, and children love it.
You can use saline mist to open the nose and clear mucus and dimetapp works good to dry up the mucus. If there is fever and it does not clear. she would need to be checked
