Hyland's Kids Cough & Mucus, Grape, 4 fl oz

Hyland's Kids Cough & Mucus is a grape-flavored daytime homeopathic syrup in a single 4 fl oz bottle. The package identifies it for children ages 2–12 and labels it free of alcohol, sugar, parabens and dyes. This is the Cough & Mucus formula, not the brand's Cold & Cough or organic All-in-One syrup.

Stop use and ask a doctor if symptoms persist for more than 7 days or worsen; if inflammation, fever or infection is present or develops; or if a cough recurs or is accompanied by fever, rash or persistent headache. Read all warnings on the supplied package.
