Don’t give your kids medicines when they suffer from cold. Medicines specially made for treating children’s cold contain dextromethorpan and didphenhydramine also known as ‘dm’ or ‘dph’. Various studies have evinced that these medicines do not work on children. On the other hand, these medicines may lead to some side effects.
The good thing is that children get well soon without any medication. Therefore, it would not be sane to feed kids on medicines when they suffer form cold.
