My son is 5 months old weighting 5 Kg. He is suffering from a cough and cold and he was given Ofloxacin suspension (Brand Name: NEOF) and no improvement after 4 days also. Is it a better medicine for cough and cold? Please advise me on the issue. ## Ofloxacin is in a class of antibiotics known as Quinolone Antibiotics.

My baby is suffering from a dry cough. ## Has your child's doctor said that they should take it? This medication is used to help remove mucus, thus it may not always help with a dry cough, since it helps increase the production of sputum and thin it, so it isn't as thick. The NIH lists its side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, and dry mouth. In children this young, it is always best not to give them any medication, unless a pediatrician approves.
