Sinupret Kids Syrup, Sinus Respiratory & Immune Support, 3.38-Ounce

I bought this for my 2 year old son who has constant congestion. He tends to get colds and then just swallow all the mucous, vomit, spikes a fever, has a febrile seizure, and sometimes end up with a sinus infection. We tried everything. Sinupret thins out the mucous so I can get it out of his nose. It tastes good too so I didn't have to wrestle a 2 year old to the ground either. As soon as he took it, the snots came running out and I could grab them with a tissue. One problem. He is allergic to everything. By the second day, he did get a slight rash across his stomach and I can't really say what caused it because he tends to get these rashes a lot.Also, I did notice that there is a tiny, tiny bit of alcohol in it. My guess is that the manufacturers need to put this alcohol in it to dissolve everything. So just don't give it to a child under 2. I did clear it with his Pediatrician before giving it to him and she said it was fine but to follow the dosage correctly.Part 2: I got a terrible sinus infection. green snots for weeks, eye and nose pain, fatigue etc. My doctor said to take Mucinex which did work, but put me to sleep. I tried other decongestants and they made me jittery. Then I remembered I had the Sinupret in the back of my medicine closet. It thinned the mucous right out without any side effects. It actually worked BETTER than the decongestants too. I am ordering the adult tablets next. I find that taking it with one ibuprofen works best. The ibuprofen reduces the inflammation and cuts the pain and the Sinupret thins out the mucous so you can get it out of your nose. Sit in the shower with some steam after taking it and you will feel much better.

My daughter gets sick quite often with colds that are always accompanied by nasty, snotty noses. When she was 18 months old and sick AGAIN, I was reading online about medications for kids under 2 years and found an article by Dr. Sears recommending Sinupret. Aside from Tylenol & Motrin, Sinupret was the first medication we ever gave our daughter, so we were nervous about it and gave it to her in very small dosages. It worked SO WELL! It's now a staple in our home and we use it whenever she gets a cold. Last week, she got sick and we were out of Sinupret and couldn't find it in any local stores! Since my daughter is now 2 years old, we tried some of the other medications available for her age. One was a generic drug store medication for runny noses and another was an expensive herbal cough & cold medication. Neither gave us any results, so we ordered Sinupret. We waited anxiously for the Sinupret to arrive and dealt with a horrible runny nose and hacking cough. FINALLY today the Sinupret arrived and we gave it to our daughter immediately... the result is, as always, a significant reduction in mucus, which means no more blue bulb nasal aspirator, no more snot rubbed all over her face and hair, no more hacking cough, better napping (because she's not coughing in her sleep), and hopefully soon no more vaporizer. We love this product and have recommended it to several parents, who have also had amazing results with it. I will never again allow my bottle to run empty without a backup bottle!

My toddler son gets unbelievably "mucousy" when he gets a cold. This mucus then goes right to his chest and causes much havoc. EVERY time he gets a cold, I wish, "If only they had some type of approved decongestant for toddlers, he probably wouldn't have to get this sick." FINALLY, I have found something that 1) you can purchase for toddlers and 2) actually works! I purchased this after seeing it recommended by Dr. Sears.We've only used it with one illness so far, but it was a bad one. I was at wits end at 3AM one night and in a total Mom panic mode after having my 3-year-old up gagging on excessive mucus for 1.5 hours straight, so, I gave this a try and I swear, within 20 minutes, everything had settled and he slept like a baby for the rest of the night. It was honestly like magic.I typically don't go by negative reviews where the person tries something one time and then gives it one star beause it didn't help. There are a lot of illnesses out there. Not sure this will help with the flu or something along those lines; however, I have one data point to say that it certainly helped with a serious head/upper respiratory type cold. Also, my primary hesitation with actually using it was due to some of the reviews on the dangers of giving children ethyl alcohol (which is in here). If you dig further into those reviews you will find their concerns are unfounded and the statements are exaggerated, given the actual amount of alcohol in a dose. It was, however, very difficult to ignore all of the very positive reviews. When that many people like a product, it usually is somewhat effective at the very least.
