When your child develops a nagging cough, your number one goal is to make them feel better as soon as possible. This is true morning noon and night. Because cough medicine doesn’t taste great on its own, helping your child get well often involves several doses of flavored cough syrup.
Just like with any other food or beverage – by brushing and flossing regularly you will greatly reduce your chances for tooth decay. Next time you shop for cough syrup be sure to look for brands that do not add sugar or other sweeteners.
