they better not come for NIght Nurse

:worry:

I don't mind. For me paracetamol works fine.

The most effective cough syrups contain GLYCERIN .. which soothes the cough better than any other ingredients

They are the cheap £2 supermarket own brands as well !!

Don’t pay £5/£6 for those name brands that rarely make a difference

my understanding is that it can cause problems if you are ever put under anaesthetic at a later date in hospital. I would suggest that is a pretty good reason to keep away from using it
