I'm really worried about my little boy. He's 2 years and 6 months and has been having a rough time with a persistent cough. He recently got over a fever, which was a relief, but now I'm not sure which cough syrup would be best for him. Could you help me figure out what's suitable for his age?

For your son's cough, you can consider giving him syrup brands like Benadryl, Tixylix, or Ascoril.
