    Lola - 4 months ago, Verified purchaser
    When our little one came down with a nasty cough that just wouldn’t let up, we were desperate for a solution. After consulting with our pediatrician, we decided to try a cough medicine that promised to help him cough up phlegm and alleviate his discomfort. I must say, this medicine exceeded our expectations! First and foremost, it worked wonders in helping my 5-year-old cough up the stubborn phlegm that had been bothering him for several nights. After just one dose, we noticed a significant improvement. He was able to clear his throat effectively, and within a day, we saw a visible reduction in his coughing fits. It was such a relief to see him finally able to breathe easier and feel more comfortable. As for the taste, I was prepared for a battle, but surprisingly, it wasn’t as bad as I anticipated. My son remarked that it was “not too yucky,” which is high praise coming from a toddler! While it might not be candy sweet, He was more focused on how much better he felt rather than the flavor of the medicine. One important thing to note: for the best results, it's crucial to stick to the dosing schedule and give the medicine every four hours, as directed. We made sure to keep our timing consistent, and I truly believe that consistency played a significant role in how well it worked. Overall, I highly recommend this cough medicine for young children experiencing similar issues. It provided effective relief, allowed my son to finally get a good night’s sleep, and the manageable taste was an added bonus. With proper administration, it can be a game-changer in easing a little one’s discomfort. Just remember to follow the dosing instructions closely for maximum effectiveness!

    While this works like a cough medicine should, it does not taste great. I know meds don’t taste great to begin with, but this one is next level. It’s pretty awful. Kids need a chaser or won’t take.

    My son has been battling a cold for almost a week with a terrible sounding cough where his chest rattled. We gave him the smallest dose for his category and within about 15 minutes he had a big cough and coughed up a huge loogie. Then his nose started draining. He blew his nose and had so much mucus come house. After that he is sounding pretty clear. Only negative is the taste. My son complained it was yucky and actually cried. I tasted it and it wasn’t THAT bad, but to a 4 year old it is. Otherwise AMAZING product.
