A member asked:
I have a healthy 3 and a half yr old no minor or major health issues she has a cold wud it b ok to give her dayquil or nyquil for her symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: It turns out the decongestants don't really work for kids her age and there is a small risk that some of the ingredients can be harmful. So i would suggest avoiding them and simply giving her body time to fight off the symptoms.
