an expectorant causes you to cough. i am sure that your two-year old is doing just fine in that department. coughing is important because it helps your child clear her airway. an expectorant will only increase the amount of mucous that she will need to clear and she is unable to spit it out. this may cause her to vomit. personally i would not recommend that you use it unless her doctor specifically okayed it.
my 2 yr old is on amoxicillin for pneumonia (starting ) can i give her a cough syrup from gaiakids (natural expectorant. the cough syrup is all natural - purchased at whole foods.
