What medicine do you give your children when they are sick? I have tried many different kinds of cold and flue medicines but havent found that one that really works. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I have never heard or seen that one so it probably isnt available here. Thanks for your input.

I hear that. I havent found anything that works good. Some may help a little but I usually just have to end up letting it run its course.

Hi! When my daughter has a cold with congestion, I give her pediatric Robitussin CF. It clears up her congestion enough so that she can breathe to sleep. That's about the best thing I've found so far. For anything more serious, I take her to the doctor and get his recommendations. I hope that helps!
