Cold Medicine for Little Kids

The cough and cold medicine industry says kids under age 4 shouldn't get cold medicine, according to this story. Others say the medicine should be banned for kids under 6.

With flu and cold season coming up, will you be using cold meds on your little ones? Have you? Or does something else work for you (we're believers in humidifiers in my house)?

I haven't given my daughter the medicine on recommendation of my pediatrician. I always feel weird after taking them myself so never felt comfortable giving them to my daughter. Though I know other parents who swear by them.

We try as little as possible, and try natural remedies.
