I give homeopathic throat syrup to my daughter, but it doesn't seem to work. What can I do to help her?

Hello,

Indeed, homeopathic syrups usually contain only water and honey, which can be quite ineffective. For children under 6 years of age, syrups containing DM such as Benylin or Tylenol Cold are not recommended.

However, there are two natural syrups that are indicated for children over 1 year old, Helixia and Nilozan. I personally have more experience with the first one, which is based on ivy leaves. It is quite effective for both wet and dry coughs. It can be used 3 times a day and its honey taste is quite appreciated by children. The second one is based on thyme leaves, which gives it a less pleasant taste. It has still been shown to be effective in calming coughs in studies.

I hope this answers your question,

Sandrine
