A member asked:

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

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.
