Hylands Cold Tablets?

Toni79

Has anyone used them?

The weather has been unseasonally warm the past 2-3 days, and yesterday DDs nose was supper ruung and she was sneezing alot.  Althoug she stirred a few times she didn't wake until 8:30.  But she usually wakes between 6:30-7:00 on weekends, so I was surprised how late she slept.  She STTN so its not affecting her sleep (yet).  But I did hear her sneezing ALOT in her sleep. 

I really want to nip this in the bud before it gets worse.  I have a sample of "Hylands Baby Cough Syrup" and "Hyland Baby Tiny Cold Tablets".  She doesn't have a cough, so no need for that.  But the cold tablets say for runny noses, sneezing, and congestion.  So they might be a good option.  However when I read the directions for her age it says to give 3 tables every 15 mins for an hour (so 12 tablets) than hourly until releaved.  That seems like ALOT of tables!  Plus the sample only has 6 tablets, so that's not even enough for the first hour!

DD is going to the grocery store later so I might ask him to check and see if they have any.  But I was curious if anyone has used them and if they are worth trying?

I haven't used those specifically but I used hylands cough syrup, I don't think it made much difference. The last time DS had a cough/runny nose/sneeze, I bought children's benadryl to keep on hand. I haven't given him any yet because it ended up going away but I'd consider it if he had a cold that kept him up at night.

Sorry my answer is of no real help but hope she feels better soon!

@brandyleighxx - Thanks!  I'm usually not quick to give meds.  But with the holidays and being around family and other kids I'm worried about it getting worse.  She's rarely sick, so I haven't really had the opportunity to try differant thing and know what works best for us (which isn't necessarily a bad thing!)

I have used the cold tabs and if you give them as directed they do work really well!!! You can get them almost anywhere!
