Little boy cough

[KDENISE977]

So my son awakens today with a raspy cough but no other symptoms. Acts fine. No fever or anything. But the cough is flemmy sounding and has me concerned. He's 3, is it safe to give him a cough medicine ? I have googled and found Mucinex for kids is okay per other parents but the actual label reads for over 4 years of age. Just curious if anyone ever used it. Of course I'll call his on all physician but it's early and don't want to be that naggy mom just yet.

We have given our son Mucinex for kids as well as Pediacare couch and congestion per the pharmacist recommendation. It is mainly per their weight and I know your son and my son are about the same.

If he has no other symptoms and seems fine, aside from the cough, and the cough isn't keeping him from doing things, why medicate him? A cough is the body's way of protecting the lungs. Hope he's feeling better!
