Personally, I don't understand why on earth a 1, 2 or even 4 year old would be taking this medication, it should be used on kids over 6. My almost 7yo son takes it for his bad coughs. He has asthma and allergies and it REALLY helps when he has flare ups. I only use it in the evenings before he goes to bed, and never longer than 2 -3 days.

Personally, I don't understand why on earth a 1, 2 or even 4 year old would be taking this medication, it should be used on kids over 6. My almost 7yo son takes it for his bad coughs. He has asthma and allergies and it REALLY helps when he has flare ups. I only use it in the evenings before he goes to bed, and never longer than 2 -3 days. I don't believe in giving kids a lot of medications, but sometimes you have to. Once he cough clears up, I'll wait a week or two before I start giving him his allergy meds. I think that's what's causing the cough. The child may be turning into a monster from the meds because of overdose on the medication. I read the pamphlets that comes with the scripts from the drugstore, and in writing says not for kids under 6. The right measuring cup/spoon makes a huge difference, and you could easily OD your child if you're not careful, and that's what sounds like is happening with the "monster" kid.

My daughter is 4 and had a sinus infection and was given this medication. It helped her get over the drainage and the coughing. She is actually back on it and cause she is now having sinus problems again. This did not change her personality in any way. She did not complain about her stomach hurting her nor did she become a monster as others state their children did.

My 11-month old vomited alot. The doctor then prescribed an anti-naseau medicine? I am going to discontinue the use of this medication because the coughing has stopped.

I completely agree----I have to say that it did suppress my cough but my side effects were frightening. I was very dizzy, light-headed and nauseous. My thought even seemed impaired. I hope I never have to take this again.----Terrible medication.
