Children's Dimetapp Cold & Cough

Dimetapp Cold & Cough

Fast and effective relief from everyday cold and cough symptoms.

I received this product for free from smiley360, inexchange for my unbiased review. I had not used Dimetapp prior to this sampling, we had always used Triaminic. My kids love the taste of the Dimetapp and said that it soothes and coats their throats. It relieves their mild symptoms, and that makes life easier in our house! we have a new go to for cold and cough season!!!

Just make sure you read the directions on any and all medications before use. I've included helpful Dimetapp information below.
