Delsym Children's 12 Hour Cough Relief Liquid - Day or Night Cough Syrup and Kids Cough Medicine, Grape, 3 Oz

This cough syrup is almost magical! 40 yrs ago I was finally (after endless doctor visits, tests, etc) diagnosed with a seasonal allergy which causes me to have a non stop, dry, hacking cough. I was prescribed & tried an endless list of asthma medications: cough syrups (prescription & over the counter), inhalers, nebulizer treatments, herbal remedies, steroids, antibiotics, etc. The only thing that silenced the cough...(for about 6 hrs) was 1 tsp of a very strong narcotic cough syrup. I was greatful to have found that method for relief, but I disliked the side effects, constant need to go to my doctor's office to get a refill prescription, even the cost. Somehow I found Delsym & it's a life saver! It really does quiet my cough for about 12 hrs, so I can get through a work day & sleep at night. Yes, it's more expensive than a generic "tussin" cough syrup but I take fewer doses & it really, really works! Some store chains have their own "generic" versions which are somewhat less expensive; if you find those, they seem to work as well as the brand name does. Both flavors have identical ingredients, even though the grape is marketed to be for children & the orange flavor for adults. If you need to calm a cough, and have the dose truly last for a while, I strongly suggest that you give this a try. Just remember to shake the bottle really well and measure exactly.

Helps the kids battle the illnesses and relieve some of their symptoms

As advised

Staple item during the fall and winter

Glad I got this for our home medicine cabinet. My 5-year-old has been taking it for her cold. Helps her get a good night's sleep.

Took care of my son’s cough seemingly without side effects. He took it day and night and his sleep patterns were not disrupted.

Works wonders and helps get rid of that stubborn cough!

I have tried all the natural honey based children's cough syrups. Some taste terrible, others are super sweet, and all of them don't really seem to work or have any lasting soothing effects. This works great. There is actually a medicinal active ingredient that lessens coughing and allows kids to sleep through the night. I always have some on hand. And would recommend to other parents.
