Children's Cough
The cough products below are specially formulated for children ages 6 and older, although it's a good idea to check with a healthcare professional before giving cough medicine to a child of any age. When kids (or their parents) do cough, remember to cover your mouth and wash hands afterward to prevent germs from spreading. Also see children's cough/cold combinations and children's sore throat products.
