| Hun, I dont wanna scare you, but i googled it and came accross this... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-546909/Cough-medicine-banned-children-100-remedies-taken-shelves.html
I'm sure she will be fine, but it may be worth ringing nhs direct just to double check??? |

| Suzi, that article is 3 years old, and if you read to the end it states that 'The ingredients that will no longer be licensed for children under two are the antihistamines brompheniramine, chlorphenamine and diphenhydramine; cough suppressants dextrometorphan and pholcodine; expectorants guaifenesin and ipecacuanha and decongestants phenylephrine, pseudoephedrine, ephedrine, oxymetazoline and xylometazoline.

Therefore the stuff that was in those medicines is no longer licenced to be in medicince for under 2s - so the article is not valid any more! |

| Its absolutely fine hun, dont worry at all.....this one is just a throat lubricant (glycerol), with honey and lemon for a soothing action.
There is nothing in it that can be overdosed....if you drank the whole bottle, the worst you would have is the squits.
Hope she is feeling better this morning Suze xx |
