#asktheexperts my son Aviraj is 7 years old.. He is coughing a lot and can't sleep. can I give him cough syrup on empty stomach.. It's 330 am in morning and he had his dinner around 830 pm last night. also, what else I can do for him to get asleep..thanks

A. Yeah you can give it because the child was not actually entirely hungry the child has been fed some hours back so you can give it and you can massage the chest and throat of your child with warm mustard oil and then you can apply some hot pad onto that like give little bit of heat that will be helpful like hot sponge or something
