My little one is 2 years and 2 months old, and I'm thinking about starting Junior Horlicks Stage 1. I'm unsure what the right age is since I noticed that both the Stage 1 and Stage 2 packs mention not giving it to children under 2 years old, but there's no more detailed age info. Could you help me with when might be a good time to start?

My kid has this cough that kicks in about 3-4 hours after she falls asleep at night. It's pretty frequent, and we just give her water, which seems to work after a 2030 second coughing fit. The cough just comes back every few hours throughout the night, and we're honestly exhausted from this routine. What could be causing this, and is there anything more we could do to help her?
give syrup ascoril twice daily for 5 days
