After seeing the news last week about children's cold medicines, I wouldn't give your baby anything without asking your doctor.

I would never chance using an over-the-counter med for one so young unless the pediatrician says it's OK. Call the office and ask. They'll probably say you need to come in for an office visit, but do call. When a baby is congested they could get pneumonia or bronchitis which can mean hospitalization.

A small dosage of Robitussin. The age they say to give a baby Robitussin is 6 months but at 5 months you can still give them some. It wont hurt them. I did mine

My son who is 5 months old was sick last weekend and I had to give him medicine. I don't like to do that but if you get him/her robitussin (spell?) for children. I gave him a teaspoon and it seemed to work great.
