Pertussin for children
The official instructions for children allow the drug to be taken only when the patient reaches 3 years of age, but in practice there are cases of this medicine being used by younger children.
At what age can Pertussin be given, for what cough should it be prescribed and how to take it to children should be determined by a pediatrician individually in each individual case, taking into account the weight and height of the child. This is confirmed by reviews of syrup for children, which, in the case of uncomplicated respiratory diseases , often independently copes with the appearance of a dry cough ( thinning and discharge of sputum ) and does not require the addition of other similar drugs to the treatment.
What drugs can be replaced?
Another name for thyme is thyme. There are quite a lot of drugs based on it that have an expectorant effect.
Table 3. Possible analogues
| Name | More details (according to the instructions for use) |
| Tussamag | A German product available in drops or syrup format. Made with thyme. It has identical indications for use, but costs 10 times more. |
| Bronchicum S | Prescribed for children from 6 months and adults. Produced in Germany. More expensive than Pertussin-Ch by 9-12 times. |
| Bronchoplant | Recommended from 1 year. Produced in Russia. |
Reviews about Pertussin
In the vast majority of cases, reviews of Pertussin syrup, as well as the solution of this remedy, are positive. For many patients, both adults and children, this drug really helped get rid of the symptoms of dry cough without causing any adverse reactions or negative effects, and without significantly affecting the family budget. However, the choice of medication, even for the treatment of a “banal” cough, should remain the prerogative of the attending physician, who is obliged to establish the correct diagnosis for the patient and prescribe effective therapy.
