Hi lybrate-user, its bronchodialtor drug and your child age is small. So its better to contact local pediatrician whether it is required or not. It used for wet cough. Do not use medicine by yourself.

Ideally expectorants are not used for infants but still if you are using then dose is 5ml 8 to 12 hourly as per levosalbutamol which is not easy to give.
