I tried to give my daughter some bromphen to help with her cough/cold. i gave her 1/2 tsp. she threw it up. then i tried to give her another 1/2 again. she spit it out. the third time i was successful and gave her 1/2 a tsp. was that too much? 27lbs

Wouldn't give it: More than a decade ago a review of these cough/cold remedies found they offer little more than something for a parent to do in kids under 12. They were, however, responsible for thousands of ER visits from overdoses across the country. They were officially labeled as worthless for any kid under 6. A little lemon juice in honey works for many and is usually better tolerated.
