Which Cold Meds Do You Give Your Child?

[JamieC]

With so much drama in the news these days about drugs and medications, which one do you offer him/her when their sick??

I still use "Father's John" (that's old school foreal).
Vicks Vapor Rub
Kiddo Tylenol.

My son also uses an inhaler because that seems to be the best thing to get all that nassy congestion out. What do you use?

robitussun is the best period i have tried them all and i have ran out of nite quil for myself and used childrens robitussun and instantly felt decongested so im certain that it works but i try not to give them anything because none of the stuff is really good for your body especially viruses like colds i like to let our immune systems do their jobs unless its unbearable

I use Benedryl, that seems to work best with my son and it tastes pretty good so he doesn't hide from me when he has to take it LOL. I also have some Children's Bayer asprins that work too.

I use PediaCare, either Multisymptom or the decongestant kind. My son likes the taste, and it seems to get the job done in less days then other over the counter meds ive used. He takes tylenol when hes getting his shots.

I haven't given my son anything other then Children's Tylenol.. he prefers the grape. (Yecch!)

i use tylenol for when he gets his shots and has a fever and i use pedicare when he is congested.

My kids are very picky about med flavors...I get Dimetapp & grape or berry Motrin

Tylenol is good too
