At 1.7 years old, most common cough syrups are not very effective and many are not recommended for toddlers. Prefer saline nasal drops, a humidifier, and plenty of fluids and follow up with a pediatrician. They may consider a safer prescription if needed after examination.

For cold, cough, and sore throat without fever, use antihistamines, saline nasal drops, steam inhalation, and warm salt-water gargles. A simple cough syrup or expectorant may help, but most symptoms improve with supportive care. If it worsens, see a doctor.

For a 1-year-old (8 kg), Asthakind-P Drops are usually given around 1-1.5 ml, 2-3 times a day, depending on the child's symptoms. Always follow your pediatrician's exact dose, as it can vary by cough type and severity.

If there is no relief in a 4-month-old, stop the cough syrup and see a pediatrician, as such young infants often need steam inhalation, nasal saline drops, or evaluation for infection. Persistent cough at this age should be checked promptly for safe and proper treatment.

For a mucus cough, Asthakind expectorant and Asthalin nebulizer is usually enough to loosen mucus and ease breathing. Azithromycin 100 is only needed if a doctor confirms a bacterial infection, not for routine mucus coughs.
