This is a Multivu special report brought to you by Boiron. According to the Mayo Clinic, the common cold is the number one reason why children miss school. Children can catch six to ten colds a year and cough is a major symptom.
But the treatment solution isn’t always clear. Cough suppressants in children younger than 6 years of age have been associated with dosing and side effect risks.
This has many parents looking to more natural options like homeopathic medicines that don’t have side effects like drowsiness and are non-habit forming.
Dr. Lauren Feder, Author of Natural Baby and Childcare:
“One of the safest over-the-counter treatments for coughs that I recommend for kids over age 2 is Children’s Chestal cough syrup, which combines honey and homeopathic medicines. Chestal works naturally with the body and doesn’t cause drowsiness or sleeplessness and it makes all types of common coughs more productive for a quicker recovery.”
