Could I give half of 30 mg ambroxol to my daughter? My doctor didn't recommend it but as a parent I want my daughter who is 2 yrs and 4 months stop coughing so I' m thinking to give it t0 her. My doctor gave it to me when I was back home from the Phils.

Hi Ann,

If your doctor didn't recommend that you give this medication to your child, then I imagine the safest thing to do would be to listen to him/her. I have read that it isn't safe to give a child under the age of 2 any cough/cold medication. At your child's age, there is no way to know how medications could effect her system and her growth. Have you tried giving her a hot bath or used a humidifier in her room? The steam may help to loosen up her cough.

Here is a link to a page on the FDA site with information regarding the safety of cough/cold medications for children under the age of 2:

fda.gov/Drugs/ResourcesForYou/SpecialFeatures/ucm263948.htm

I hope this helps! Please post back if you have any more questions.
