Stopped the cough but making me nauseous and very dizzy. Took correct dose for adult. Not sure side effects are worth it.

I’ve been using this for several days for persistent cough from having a cold. So far I’m not noticing any improvement. I’m still coughing the same and maybe even worse (now I’m even coughing up a little blood due to coughing so much!)

I used it and it didn't kill my cough in the short term or the long term. I still ended up with coughing paroxysms that gave me a killing headache and made we wet my pants. It seems that the medication providers are removing anything that works as medication.

Comment:
Gave to my 15 yr-old son (230 lbs.) for horrible cough. He couldn't sleep at night. This medication helped enormously. Only gave it to him on nights he had sever trouble sleeping. Used humidifier first. Used no more than 4 nights within 10 days of his illness (flu.)
