MedDataToolFormula 3 Cough Syrup is used to temporarily relieve cough symptoms, including dryness and irritation in the throat and bronchial area that can happen with the common cold. It works by soothing the throat and reducing the urge to cough. For children aged 2 to 4 years, the starting dose is 1/2 teaspoon every 3 hours, while children aged 5 to 11 years can take 1 teaspoon every 3 hours, as needed. It's important not to give this syrup for a persistent cough, especially if it comes with a lot of mucus or lasts more than a week, as this could indicate a more serious issue. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, be sure to consult a healthcare professional before using it.
