A recent study showed that over-the-counter cough medications were no more effective than sugar syrup in treating a cough. Not only that, but that cough medicine can have potentially dangerous side effects for children; irritability, restlessness, lethargy, hallucination, and hypertension.
I know Emma suffers from restlessness whenever we give her some Robitussin. She'll be up for hours in the middle of the night.
So I'm figuring that we can save some money by not buying these treatments anymore, and just go with a little nip of the hooch whenever the kids get a cough.
