My 1.5 year baby has cold since last week and our pediatrician gave me medicine for cold (Phenylephrine HCL & Chlorpheniramine Maleate Syrup I. P.). After 5 days baby has cough only in the morning for 2 days. I have consulted my pediatrician. Doctor told me that she has chest congestion ( I think due to mucus). And gave me Cefdinir oral suspension and also gave me Ambroxol HCL Guaiphenesin & Levosalbutamol syrup. But after visiting the doctor she don't have cough. So is it necessary to give the Ambroxol HCL medicine?

A. no need to use the medicine if there is no cough. in monsoon season baby will be having cold and cough frequently due to viral infections sometimes allergies please give steam inhalation frequently and saline drops in the nose of the baby
