On the package it says not to give under six , so basically I was thinking if I would brake in 1/2. do u think that would help home? He has a bad cough and later on his nose was runny. I have started giving him baby Motrin.

Hello, Krissy! How is he doing?

Please, do not give him anything without a doctor's approval, not even half of one. It is far too easy to overdose a child of that age. It would be best to take him to his pediatrician and let them prescribe an appropriate treatment, if one is necessary.

I understand that you love him and want to relieve this, so he is no longer miserable, but it just isn't worth the risks. I felt the same, when my son was small… I even still feel that way sometimes, although he's 20, now. LOL

Does he have a fever, at all?
