Question 1

can i give my child hylands cough and cold multi symptom while shes on childrens motrin?

Accepted Answer

Childs cough med: It is not highly recommended anymore to use any of the over-the-counter cough and cold suppressants since they do have a significant side effect profile. Safety is better when they are older than five.

Question 2

can hylands cough and cold be combined with benadryl (diphenhydramine)?

Accepted Answer

Maybe (not) . . .: Hyland's is a brand of homeopathic remedies (http://www.Hylands.Com/products/adult), none of which exactly match name you mentioned, so it's trickier to determine which you are referencing. Regardless, given that most ingredients are 6-12x (http://en.Wikipedia.Org/wiki/homeopathic_dilutions), it's doubtful that there's anything present to interact w/benadryl (diphenhydramine).

Question 3

would it be ok to to use hylands cough and cold syrup marketed for 2-12 year olds for a 1 year old baby with a cough/runny nose/congestion?

Accepted Answer

: Cough and cold preparations were once in common use at all ages. They have not been recommended for kids under age 6 for more than a decade. They provide little if any relief and are responsible for hundreds of ER visits for overdoses yearly. They can even thicken mucus secretions and make a cough worse. I use a 1/2 tsp of honey combined with lemon juice for cough.

Question 4

cough and cold management?

Accepted Answer

Increase fluid : Stay hydrated will clear by 7-10 days .No otc save your money.

Question 5

how to cure cough and cold natural way?

Accepted Answer

Much should focus on: Living healthy.  Make sure your are eating/drinking well, sleeping well, not overexerting yourself but also don't keep yourself completely bed bound.  Avoid drinking if you normally do.  While there aren't "cures".  There is some evidence that chicken soup helps with symptom reduction.  Otherwise the data about other remedies like zinc, vitamin C, echinacea is quite mixed.

Question 6

what's the best way to treat cough and cold?

Accepted Answer

: It is the cause that needs to be treated. A viral infection will pass on its own and you may take acetaminophen for aches and fever. Drink plenty of fluids. For cough you may need a cough suppressant or a mucolytic. If it is due to allergy, you may take anti-histaminic. 
Wish you good health!

Question 7

what medicine should i take in cough and cold?

Accepted Answer

Dark brown honey: believe it or not, when compared to Robitussin DM (guaifenesin and dextromethorphan) and Delsym/Mucinex-is equally effective and very safe: yes: grandma was right: tea and honey ( with or without a shot of Jack Daniels-adults only, will help suppress a cough ( or make you forget you ever had one) The other products are viable alternatives.
