What is the best children's cough medicine?

Depends...: Cough is a reflex that is there for a reason. In order to get rid of a cough, you need to find out why it is there. If the cough is getting rid of secretions, suppressing it is dangerous. Keeping hydrated so the secretions are thin and easy to cough up is key. If the cough is due to bronchospasm, bronchodilator med is the answer. So, treating the cause of cough is needed to get rid of it!

Cough medicine: In children over 1 year of age, a teaspoon of honey is recommended for its demulcent and natural properties in soothing a cough. Cough syrups contain ingredients which can raise blood pressure and heart rate in children...without reducing cough any better.
