Delsym Cough Suppressant - 2 Pack, 5 ounces Boxes Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Every time I buy a DM cough suppressant, the taste is so awful that it almost always makes the medicine to spew out back - yuck! This cough medicine differs that it does not taste bad at all. It has a subtle orange flavor, slight sweetness, that I think even my kids will not mind. I say that because my little girl, always throws up every time she tries to get it down. We always have a bowl of ice whenever she takes it. By the way, it is also available for kids.
I was introduced to this brand just recently when I asked the pharmacist what he can recommend for my dry cough. It turned out to be quite effective. Effective enough to relieve the itching on my throat for many hours compared to the other over-the-counter medicine I have tried before.

Vicks vaporub cough suppressant topical analgesic ointment - 6 oz Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've used Vicks VapoRub every night for last 30 or so years. Yes, that's right--I've used it since I was a little girl!
Now, when I was little, I put it IN my nostrils (which you're not supposed to do). Now, I just apply it UNDER my nose to help me breathe at night.
Why I've needed it, I hadn't known--until recently. Apparently, I have a slightly deviated septum AND I have non-allergic rhinitis which mimics actual allergies (I test negative for allergies).
So while Sudafed has helped in the past and now, Nasonex, Benadryl and Astelin, I'm still using good ol' Vicks VapoRub to help me get a good night sleep! And the good thing is that these jars seem to last FOREVER. I probably only have to buy it once every year or two!
Of course, VapoRub is also good chest colds and vaporizers--but ya know, I never used it for that, even on my son! (He's rarely sick).

Delsym 12 Hour Cough Relief (5 oz.) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I hate cold syrups of any kind because they taste so disgusting. As far as artificial flavors go, orange is one of my favorites, so I decided to brake down and try Delsym because they seemed to have the lowest price per dose for something that was strictly a cough suppressant. Every time I take a cold medicine with both cough suppressant and expectorant in it, while only having cough issues (such as for the cough that lingers after a cold) I end up feeling incredibly dry in my chest, even if I compromise and take only half a dose. Anyway, I thought about getting the Robitussin CoughGels, Liqui-gels 20 ea, but they seemed expensive for 10 doses - now I wish I'd decided differently. For starters, the Delsym could definitely taste worse, but it still left me with that utterly disgusted look on my face and the need to chase this with food and water to get rid of the aftertaste. I've taken this a few different times now, and have decided that it doesn't work. It may have decreased my urge to cough slightly for an hour or two after it got in my system, but it is not enough to help me sleep through the night, or really get to sleep for that matter. I'm writing this review at 4:30 AM because I just had a coughing spell. (I probably took the Delsym around midnight.) I now have a sore throat and a hurting side from coughing so much, and nothing to show for the $11 I wasted on this stuff. From much of what I've found on the internet, the Dextromethorphan Polistirex in Delsym doesn't work for a lot of people; it's such a shame that it's so hard to find Dextromethorphan HBr (which does seem to work for me) as a single active ingredient in anything because there are so many people out there who abuse it.

Hylands Honey Cough Syrup 4 Kids Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My son was suffering from severe cough for almost a week. His pediatrician suggested not to give any medication for cough. His eating reduced a lot and whatever he ate came out later due to the cough. He was only having fluids and became very tired. Also the cough was keeping him awake all night. We were very upset as we were not able to do anything until I read about Hyland's Cough Syrup With Honey For Kids.
The first dose we gave him showed good results and within a few doses his coughing reduced dramatically. This is a great natural remedy for kids cough.

Hyland's Earache Drops Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I picked these up at our local health store because I was having an earache and they really do work. I followed the instructions and put 3-4 drops in my ear and then kept it tilted for a bit and put a cotton ball in it for 5 minutes. Before I used them I couldn't blow my nose or relieve pressure without there being pain in my right ear. After I used it I could do both with no pain. I'm not prone to earaches so I don't know much about them, but it was great to get such fast relief from one.

MucinexDM Expectorant and Cough Suppressant, 600mg, Extended-Release Bi-Layer Tablets Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)There are so many cough formulas on the market that it is easy to get confused on what to buy. Here is a guide:
Cough medicines are categorized as EXPECTORANTS or SUPPRESSANTS, each may be sold separately or in combination medications, like this one. They're also found in cold formulas that include pain relievers (analgesics such as acetaminophen (Tylenol)), decongestants (pseudoephedrine), and antihistamines (diphenhydramine).
This product has a cough suppressant (dextromethorphan), combined with an expectorant (Guaifenesin). The purpose of an expectorant is to loosen phlem so that it can be coughed up and out. Take an expectorant with a full glass of water, as water is an excellent expectorant. Also, drink plenty of fluids if you are congested. Hot liquids, such as chicken soup, tea and honey--work especially well. Breathing humidified air also moistens and soothes irritated airways, and loosens mucous.
A cough SUPPRESSANT works by calming the cough reflex in the brain. While it's not wise to stop a cough that produces colored phlegm (colored phlegm has bacteria in it), suppressants can relieve a dry, hacking unproductive cough. Suppressants are also helpful when you're exhausted from coughing and need to sleep. DEXTRMETHORPHAN (DM) is the most common active ingredient in nonprescription suppressants. Dextromethorphan has come under attack as not being effective in suppressing coughs. There is research on both sides of the issue, some that support it and others that recommend avoiding dextromethorphan. I personally have not found it effective in suppressing my coughs. Perhaps the very best cough suppressant is one which contains codeine. Codeine can be helpful as a nighttime cough remedy because it has a slight sedative effect on the central nervous system. It is available by prescription only.
Something to consider... since so many manufacturers now combine cough medicines with many other medicines, such as Tylenol for pain, a nasal decongestant, and/or an anti-histamine, I think it is wise to select a cough medicine that has ONLY the ingredients that are appropriate for your symptoms. That way you're not wasting your money on unnecessary ingredients, you spare yourself unnecessary side effects, and you're getting only the medication that your body needs.konedog

Hylands Cold N Cough 4 Kids Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I wanted to find a couph medicine that tasted better than store bought ones. I had not tried this one before but had used the other pill forms of other products/items by same maker and they worked well. This product worked easily in that there was no fighting to get my 4 year old to take it - he actually is starting to pretend he's sick to get some (but we're on to him!) It lasts an about two hours or so and since it doesn't have the "scary" ingredients of regular products, giving him a second dose every 4 hours is fine and I feel comfortable with it. Just having the hassle of him NOT running away from couph syrup makes this worth it, but it does give relief for awhile. I tasted it and liked it too. Recommend it for those who want to use a more natural way of helping kids cope with couphs, especially if they do not like the tastes of what the pharmacy over the counter has. I love Hylands!
