Why avoid certain cough medicines?

Over-the-counter syrups promise fast relief, but  they ease symptoms without treating the cause . Some contain cough suppressants or antihistamines that can:

• Cause  drowsiness, dizziness, or stomach upset
• Interact with other treatments (hypertension, liver, etc.)
