  • What can I give my 2 year old for a cold?

    Warn honey and lemon will do.

About 10 years ago, the ‘over the counter’ cold medications were more widely used in children and abused which caused some unfortunate deaths in some young children. The manufacturers decided to label these medications for older children only and so are not liable.  READ MORE
