Abstract
Numerous prescription and nonprescription medications are currently av ailable for suppression of cough, a common symptom in children. Becaus e adverse effects and overdosage associated with the administration of cough and cold preparations in children have been reported, education of patients and parents about the lack of proven antitussive effects and the potential risks of these products is needed.
