It sounds like pediatricians are recommending no cold and cough medicines until kids are three or four.
What remedies are people seeing work for little ones?
Cool air humidifier in sleeping space, breast milk and/or clear fluids, nasal suction before eating/drinking, Tylenol or Motrin for fever/comfort
It depends on the age.I hope a link to WebMD is ok. http://www.webmd.com/cold-and-flu/cough-home-remedies-babies-toddlers#1
