To use medicines - it has always risks, even if it is low! (Naturally medicines as well...)
Apply them only, if you really need!!!
Cost/benefit ratio is the most important by application medicines, and to calculate it, that's the job of doctors...
Of course, by a children's cough medicine risk is extremly low.
If your doctor suggested it, you should give it to the child. He/she has a lot of experiences with children cough medicines, would have been realised it's harms to te children, and would'nt prescribe...
