Pros

  • •Highly effective for cough relief and suitable for cold, flu, COPD, and allergies.
  • •Contains Dextromethorphan in a sustained release formula for a long-lasting effect.
  • •Effective at helping a child fall asleep quickly, within 15 minutes of dosage.
  • •Provided significant relief, allowing for restful sleep.
  • •Considered superior to other products tried previously.

Cons

  • •Did not alleviate cough symptoms at all in some cases, lacking effectiveness.
  • •Duration of relief was shorter than advertised, lasting only 6 to 7 hours.
  • •Completely ineffective in easing cough for children with uncomplicated bronchitis.
  • •Caused concerning side effects, including paleness and minimal responsiveness.
  • •Contains artificial colors, which some users find unnecessary.

Bottom Line

Delsym Children's Cough in a 3 oz size can be highly effective for some, providing quick relief and allowing restful sleep. However, it falls short for others, especially in cases like uncomplicated bronchitis. The relief duration might also be less than what is advertised. Exercise caution regarding potential side effects and consult a doctor if symptoms persist beyond a few days.
