Pretty much any children's medicine is meant for children aged 2 and up and will be safe for them. This includes things like Dimetapp, children's cough syrups like Robitussin, and many allergy medicines. All children's medicines should include dosage instructions for children 2 and up.

Medicines often are targeted towards age-specific demographics. Read the packaging and be aware of the fine print. Many adult medications can be dosed smaller for young children to make up for the smaller body mass.
