I gave my 7 year old cough syrup containing English ivy leaf, and it upset his stomach, and created a much more mucus moving cough. We haven't figured out yet if it is helping or not with his upper respiratory infection symptoms. I am rating this treatment based on the side effect of vomiting.

Comment:
Had an extremely congested cough with heavy mucous that would not dislodge. Tried some of this new stuff at a pharmacist's suggestion. Expensive. Tasted like awful(the wife also tried it and almost vomited) and it gave me an irregular heartbeat during the night. Would not use again. Flushed the rest of the bottle.
