two months if he was born after 37 weeks and weighs more than 4kg (9lb). You can give him infant ibuprofen if he is three months or older, and weighs at least 5kg (11lb). Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you’re unsure about the dosage.
To help relieve your baby’s cough, place a bowl of warm water in his room to make it more humid. There’s no evidence that giving your baby cough medicine will help his cough. If he is one year or older, you could give him a honey and lemon drink. Mix one teaspoon of lemon juice with two teaspoons of honey in a glass of warm water.
