Stinky and ineffective
I purchased these not long ago for my 5-year old son who had a severe cold. The pharmacist encouraged me to try them and let him know what I thought- he assured me they were safe for my son.<br /><br />I had a touch of a cold as well and happily volunteered to sit in the bathroom while my son was in the shower so he wouldn't try to play with the tablet. Within minutes our bathroom was engulfed in a thick, menthol haze. My eyes were beginning to water, my son complained that his eyes burned. I turned the exhaust fan on and opened the door but the smell was still too overwhelming for us. I stopped the shower not long after it started and, in spite of the fumes, my poor kiddo showed no relief with his congestion. Neither did I. The remaining tablets were thrown away, unopened.<br /><br />This may be the type of thing that works for some people and not others but I would definitely think twice before using it for a child do to the overwhelming smell.
