Cough and Cold medicine (from CDC podcast)

infant death due to cough and cold

does medicine work for kids under 2 years old?
little evidence, no approve dose recommend
can be fatal (in rare case)

precaution?
should not overthecounter or prescription without talking to docter
becareful if not taking one kind of medicine only
medicine may have diffrent name but same ingredient,
so giving more than one kind of medicine at a time is dangerous for
children under two (may cause overdose)

what are other option?
coolmistue help with (???)
rubber sucktion bulb (???)
nosedrop
