Cough for toddler

Is cough syrup really not suitable for kids below the age of 2 years old? As private clinic ever prescribed that but we did not administrate to her as the natural remedy we have been trying kind of work whereas when we went to KKH they mention no cough syrup is recommended for kids below the age of 2. Thoughts parents?#askmommies

Yup, what KKH shared is the usual guidance in SG, generally no cough syrup for kids under 2. From what doctors explain, it’s less about natural vs not, and more that cough/cold meds aren’t usually recommended at this age as they don’t show much benefit and can have side effects in younger kids. Some private clinics still prescribe, but hospital guidance tends to be more conservative.
