Overview
Children's Cough, Cold and Flu Remedies
Children's cough, cold and flu medicines are specifically formulated with lower, age-appropriate doses for younger patients. Many adult medicines are not suitable for children, so it is important to choose products that are specifically labelled for the child's age group. For babies and young children, saline nasal sprays and paracetamol-based products are often the safest and most effective options.
Cloud Pharmacy stocks children's cough, cold and flu products from trusted UK brands. All products are dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy team.

- Do not give aspirin to children under 16
