Did you know children generally get 5-7 Colds a year? No one likes to see the little ones in discomfort and suffering from the symptoms of a Cough, Cold or Allergies. And sometimes making the right choice can seem difficult. CEO of Pharmacy 4 Less, Feras Karem discusses treatment options available for Cold, Cough & Allergy symptoms in young children.
If you have young children suffering from Cough or Cold & Allergy, then we have 2 products from Dimetapp which may help. First, Dimetapp Kids Cold & Allergy.  The second is Dimetapp Kids Cough + Immune Support during Cold.
Before we explain how to battle a cold, we need to first understand exactly what a cold is!
The common cold is a viral infection of the nose, throat and nasal sinuses characterised by inflammation, discharge and nasal congestion. On average adults get two to four cold each year - children on the other hand generally tend to get more, with an average of five to seven colds a year.
Generally the symptoms to look for include sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes, nasal stuffiness and even a cough.
As a parent, you've probably experienced your child with a cold, and you know the distress that's caused. It's always important to discuss the condition and severity of your children's symptoms with a doctor, or a pharmacist in one of our stores.
So if you're looking for specific products that can help, we can suggest Dimetapp Kids. Dimetapp is a very well-known brand in Australia. In fact their products have been available now for over 50 years.
So first up there's Dimetapp Cold & Allergy. This can be recommended to kids six years and over and can provide effective relief from nasal and sinus congestion, runny nose, itchy and watery eyes and sneezing. Plus Dimetapp's great taste makes it easier for parents to give this to their children. It also has a colour free option available too.
Your second option is Dimetapp Kids Cough & Immune Support During Cold. It can help to reduce coughs, chest congestion, congested airways and helps to support immune health.  And what's even better is that this product can be given to kids aged as little as two years and onwards.
