I also think there is mucinex for this age. And sudafed. Our girl won't take mucinex or sudafed, too strong tasting. But we have luck with Delsym and Zarbees </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-years-old-with-nasty-cough#post-2460741 Sat, 13 Feb 2016 10:53:51 +0000 Beehive 2460741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Try Chestal - it's homeopathic (honey-based), but it does work a bit. I know a lot of others on the board recommend Zarbees, I think it's a similar honey-based cough remedy. Both are fine for over 2 years old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-years-old-with-nasty-cough#post-2460732 Sat, 13 Feb 2016 10:22:21 +0000 Mrs. D 2460732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>there are no official medicines on the market for coughs in kids who are 3 or 4 (4 in two weeks). And our daughter has been to the doctor a few times this winter about her cough, and the doctors just called it a winter cough. </p> <p>Help! What do you use that helps eleviate the cough?</p> <p>Halls says it's for ages 5 and up, and I wonder if we should take the risk.... </p>
