Doctor Warns Parents Not To Give Their Children Cough Medicine

A senior doctor has urged parents not to give kids cough and cold medicines or syrups but use honey and lemon instead.

Dr Oliver Bevington warned over-the-counter treatments may not work and the ingredients could have side-effects or be toxic in large doses.

He also said many included paracetamol which could lead to parents unintentionally overdosing their children.
