Question
Can a 9-month-old baby take ketotifen for a cold?
Answer
Avoid taking tablets. Pediatric medications are mostly in the form of suspensions. For common colds, ensure your child drinks plenty of water. You can give your child pediatric cold syrup. This medication is used for allergic rhinitis and asthma. It can relieve cough symptoms in cases of acute and chronic bronchitis, making sputum more fluid and easier to cough up. If your baby has a cough but no difficult-to-cough-up sputum, there’s no need to take this medication. For a 9-month-old baby with a cold and cough, it’s recommended to consult a doctor. The dosage should be strictly followed as prescribed by the doctor.
