WPW and cough syrup.

WPW and cough syrup.

Hi,
My daughter has had WPW since birth and has been without symptoms since age 3.  She's now 11 and also has asthma.  We were told, when she was a baby, that we shouldn't give her cough meds as they might speed up her heard.  When her asthma is bad she coughs non stop.  Is there a safe cough syrup I could use?

I think Robitussin DM is okay. I have a pvcs's and pac's and svt and can take it. My doc told me to take that. You can always call the pharmacy and check too.

Doctors always said cannot take this or cannot take that.  Well, if needed, the doctor will said this Ok or safe to take.  Infection or fever causes even more palpitations than taking any kind of cough medicine.   Ventolin can cause palpitation, I'm very sure for that.  

Take her to the doctor, she might has palpitation already.  Take care.
