Hello Doctor,My kid is 11 months old. He is suffering from cough and cold since last two days. He has been given T-MINIC  syrup by our doctor but still he is having dry cough. Previously he was given MUCOLITE syrup for kids by another doctor which was proven well. I want to know should should i recontinue giving MUCOLITE to him instead of T-minic?
Cough and cold for 2 days should be treated with cough suppressant and decongestant like T mini as in this case it is acute in onset. In cough which is prolonged and are productive / wet, Multics i.e. mucus lysis or mucus dissolves are used. It thins out the secretions/ mucus production and reduces symptoms of wet cough only. However cough and cold of acute onset usually causes thin watery secretions which need not be made further thin in this case antisecretory and decongestant will work well not Muscovite, so please use T mini
