Can I give Motrin or Tylenol at the same time as Helixia?

Hello, my 27 month old child has a bad cough followed by fever since yesterday. I usually give Prospan Helixia syrup on the recommended doses when there is no fever.

Within the same product line, which one do you recommend most?
Prospan syrup or Homecan child 0-9 day and night?

I do not recommend syrups because they have not been shown to be more effective than drinking lots of fluids. In fact, syrups do not address the source of the problem, which is most often discharge from the nose and sinuses that travels down the throat from behind.
The best treatment is nasal hygiene with a saline solution (Hydrasense, Sinus Rinse and others), which can be performed as often as needed during the day, and at least 30 minutes before bedtime, and followed by suctioning out the secretions with a nasal wand. By 'cleaning' the nasal secretions, we can reduce their backward flow, which often causes coughing. It's a little uncomfortable but works wonders!
Encourage your little one to drink often as well.

We do nasal hygiene the sainte-justine way very often and yes there is an improvement since we use this method. Thank you so much!!!

Hello,
could I give Homecan 0-9 daytime to my 4 month old baby? On the dosage it says 0-6 years and 6-9 years. So in theory it would be correct? Of course we do the sainte-justine style sinus rinse several times a day.

Yes you can, but don't expect concrete effectiveness. Giving him plenty to drink will probably bring more benefits.
