Cough

[Geoffer]

Hi All, I am a new member, our Grandson George aged 4 has recently been diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, we are coping quite well after the initial shock as is George.

Can anyone help with a cough remedy? I have read that Pholcodine is suitable for diabetic children of this age but we are not totally sure if this is safe. Would appreciate any advice from people who have used this or other suitable products. Thanks.

Hello Geof and welcome to the forum.
Sorry to hear of your Grandson's diagnoses.
Ask the pharmacist for advice regarding suitable cough medicines, it's surprising what they have stashed behind the counter 🙂 If you have to resort to none sugar free, there's 5 carbs per spoonfull of mixture.

Thank you. Will look into that.
