This is outside my area of expertise, but as a grandmother myself, I know that currently they do not recommend any over-the-counter medications for children under two years. I'd suggest that your daughter call her child's pediatrician and ask what she can do when her daughter gets sick to try and prevent her from getting worse. I know how heartbreaking it is to see your child or grandchild sick and feel helpless to help them. I hope the pediatrician has some helpful suggestions.
