Chestal Kids Original Cold Syrup by Boiron conveniently targets both common cough and cold symptoms in one medicine. The homeopathic multi-symptom formula relieves nasal and chest congestion, dry fitful cough, sneezing, minor sore throat, and a runny or stuffy nose.* The sweet-tasting syrup won’t interact with other medications and is recommended for children ages 4 and up.
Chestal Kids Original Cold Syrup is non-drowsy and non-habit forming, so it can be used day or night without worry. It won’t mask symptoms of a more serious condition and contains no artificial sweeteners, flavors, or dyes. Chestal Kids Original is available over the counter in a 6.7 fl oz recyclable glass bottle with a dosage cup for 40 doses. Also try Oscillococcinum® for flu symptoms and the ColdCalm® line.
