  2. I always felt those cough syrups do nothing. WOn’t give to my kids OVER age two either. We just like to give stuff to our kids so we can think we’re doing “something”. Hey – how about giving our kids healthy food instead of painted, chemicalized, processed garbage they eat for breakfast lunch and supper? That’s doing “something.”

  3. IF YOUR CHILD HAS A COLD YOU SHOULD PURCHASE A HUMIDIFIER FOR THEIR ROOM. YOU SHOULD ALSO RUN THE HOT WATER IN YOUR BATHROOM AND CLOSE THE DOOR SO THAT THE STEAM STAYS IN THE BATHROOM AND HAVE YOUR CHILD SIT THERE FOR A FEW MINUTES .THIS ADVICE WILL BE ALOT BETTER THAN TAKING CAUGH DROP MEDICATIONS.
