I have said for years that the research shows around the world and thousands of healthcare providers and doctors agree that over-the-counter cough syrups do not do what they say and are dangerous. I have been called a liar, and a charlatan. It has been said that statements like this that I make will stop people from taking needed medications and therefore I should be silenced.

See article keywords and concepts |  Most people, of course, try to beat their colds by masking the symptoms with over-the-counter drugs such as cough syrup (a completely useless product), sinus medication (which only dries out your sinuses while doing nothing to fight the infection), or even antibiotics (which are so overprescribed by doctors that they have become a threat to the safety of patients). They end up feeling lousy for 3 - 7 days, and the cold symptoms overtake them from head to toe, landing them in bed and causing them to miss work or family time. |

The US Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Center for Drug Evaluation and Research has some sound advice for parents who are trying to help ease their child's symptoms without making a trip to the doctor...
•Don't estimate the dose based on your child's size. Read the label and follow all directions carefully.
•Follow any age limits on the label.
•Some over-the-counter (OTC) products come in different strengths. Make sure you know what strength you are using. | | Popular brands: Benylin Cough Suppressant, Robitussin DM cough syrup, Sucrets 8-Hour Cough Suppressant, Vicks 44 Cough Relief.
Dangers: Dizziness, even hallucinations and seizures, if taken in excessive doses (more than 10 times the recommended dosage of 30 mg daily).
What to do: Follow the dosage recommendation on the label. Use the measuring device that comes with the medication, not a household tablespoon or teaspoon. If you misplace the device, ask your pharmacist for an appropriate replacement. . |

Reports exist in the scientific literature of children being poisoned by intake of the fresh foliage (with blossoms), with symptoms including vomiting and stomach pain. The drug itself is non-toxic due to the low level of alkaloid content. |

A. Terpin hydrate was a popular cough medicine from the late 1800s until the early 1990s. Then the FDA banned it on the grounds that it had not been proven effective.
As an expectorant, terpin hydrate was supposed to loosen mucus and relieve coughs. It was derived from natural sources such as oil of turpentine or compounds found in oregano, thyme, and eucalyptus.
Terpin hydrate is no longer available in the United States. Instead, you may want to try a different old-fashioned remedy. | | One scientist has suggested that part of the reason most cough syrup is sweet is not only to mask the nasty flavor of dextromethorphan, but also to recruit the brain's own opioids, endorphins, in calming the cough.161 Since opioids are very effective against cough, this is an appealing hypothesis.
Chocolate
Another possible remedy for a simple cough may surprise you. Chocolate lovers though we are, we never suspected that theobromine, one of the essential components of chocolate and cocoa, would have any benefit against cough. | | Codeine-containing cough syrup is one of the most effective remedies for cough. It may be difficult to purchase without a prescription. But if your cough is troubling you, ask your doctor to write one. Don't overuse it, because it can be constipating.
• Vicks VapoRub, with its familiar aroma of menthol, camphor, and eucalyptus, is worth trying. If you don't want to put it on your chest, try it on the soles of your feet (under your socks) for a cough-free night.
• Chicken soup with thyme is a comfort food that could help control a cough.
• Several herbal teas may be helpful. |

This is especially true if you have a dry cough along with the congestion. It has a high concentration of rutin, which strengthens capillary walls, and may have some beneficial effect in reducing arteriosclerosis. To make tea, pour 2 cups of hot water over 2 teaspoons of wild pansys steep for ten minutes, and strain. Drink a cup of the tea two or three times a day after meals for a period of eight weeks. |

In current herbal medicine systems in Brazil, guaco is well known and well regarded as an effective natural bronchodilator, expectorant, and cough suppressant employed for all types of upper respiratory problems including bronchitis, pleurisy, colds and flu, coughs, and asthma; as well as for sore throats, laryngitis, and fever. | | In addition to the cough syrup detailed above, the traditional remedy is to take 2 cups of fresh leaves (or V2 cup dried leaves) and infuse them in a liter of water. A half-cup of this infusion is taken four times daily for rheumatism, respiratory problems, and coughs. A standard tincture is also sometimes employed for the same purposes at dosages of 3^4 ml three times daily. The leaf infusion may also be prepared as above and used as a topical wound healer and pain-reliever (although the fresh leaves are more effective for this purpose than using dried leaves). | | This "drug" is still a popular home remedy today throughout Brazil for the same purposes, but locals prepare it themselves by boiling guaco leaves into a tasty spicy cough syrup. The recipe calls for putting a handful of fresh leaves (or about 2 ounces dried leaves) in 6 cups of water and boiling until it is reduced to 2 cups. Then 3/4 of a cup of sugar is added and it is boiled again for about twenty minutes into a syrup. The mixture is strained to remove the leaves, three soup-spoonfuls of honey are added, and the syrup is cooled, bottled, and stored in the refrigerator. |
