Why can't we give a pill to a 3-year-old child?

It is not recommended to give a lozenge containing only menthol to a 3-year-old child due to the risk of choking. It is best to avoid giving these lozenges to young children, as the benefits are small compared to the potential risk of choking. To help with a runny nose and throat pain caused by coughing, using a saline solution to clean the sinuses, such as Hydrasense, is a good solution. This may be a bit uncomfortable, but it is effective and can be used as often as needed. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask for further assistance.
