We tried not to use it too much though. Same with the Zarbee's natural stuff... Just a little bit when we get desperate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cold-medicine-2#post-2660542 Fri, 02 Dec 2016 08:40:45 +0000 littlebug 2660542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was a pretty strict no cough/cold meds for kids under 4 but we got super desperate this last time and tried that Hylands nighttime stuff (D's almost 4 anyway). It was amazing. I still try to avoid stuff during the day and just treat with honey, and his cough usually gets better during the day anyway. But if it gets bad enough, I'd be willing to try the daytime version of the Hyland's. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cold-medicine-2#post-2660490 Fri, 02 Dec 2016 03:40:16 +0000 lamariniere 2660490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My older LO gets Mucinex when he has a cough. It works really well and he doesn't cough at night. For my younger LO, we give her Chestal Honey. I gave her some last night before going to bed and she didn't cough at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cold-medicine-2#post-2660404 Thu, 01 Dec 2016 21:27:30 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2660404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No we don't. But so far regular pain meds have done the job </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cold-medicine-2#post-2660400 Thu, 01 Dec 2016 21:21:56 +0000 hellobeeboston 2660400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We give honey for a cough, usually mixed in warm/hot water... mine are 4 &amp; 1 though.... tried zarbees and felt honey was just as good if not better.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cold-medicine-2#post-2660342 Thu, 01 Dec 2016 19:25:58 +0000 Bao 2660342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PawPrints: The cold meds we have are for 2+ and they make a daytime one, but probably because it's "natural". We tried the Zarbee's brand too but that smelled terrible so we don't use that one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cold-medicine-2#post-2660340 Thu, 01 Dec 2016 19:22:51 +0000 PawPrints 2660340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No cough/cold meds for kids under 4 years. We do ibuprofen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cold-medicine-2#post-2660336 Thu, 01 Dec 2016 19:10:53 +0000 Bao 2660336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you give your LO specific cold medicine when they have a cold? I usually just give Ibuprofen but last night I gave Hyland's Cough n Cold Nighttime and she actually slept all night. I'm wondering if the regular pain reliever isn't helping much and I need to get some cold meds for her to take during the day. </p>
