what is the best thing for a childs congestion?


Question:
my sons are 4 and 2 yrs old. They are continually getting terrible coughs and my 2yr old just holds on to congestion.

Answers:
Look for products with guaifenesin in them. I believe plain Robitussin has it. Other Robitussins like DM has the guaifenesin and dextromethorphan which is for cough.
