Brompheniramine / dextromethorphan / phenylephrine "2-year-old had a coughing spell for about 45 minutes. Gave him water and a few sips of apple juice. (Thinking he may have just been a little dry mouth/throat). After that, I decided to give him a 1/2 tsp of Dimetapp as he was still coughing. 15 mins later, he started seeing bugs. This went on from 2 a.m. till 5 a.m. He was inconsolable and hysterical. Don't recommend this for any child."

Brompheniramine / dextromethorphan / phenylephrine "I took the adult dosage of the Dimetapp nighttime version after calling in sick when I woke up in the middle of the night with throat hurting and nasal congestion. I was desperate, but this was all we had. I laid down, and after about 3 minutes, I had this sudden rush of severe burning pain from my chin all the way down to the bottom of my ribcage. My esophagus was on fire. I thought I was in anaphylactic shock, and my throat seemed to swell more, but it didn't close. It slowly started to fade, pain and burning-wise, about 20 minutes later, dissipating slowly. I cannot believe I gave this med to my 6-year-old!!!"

Brompheniramine / dextromethorphan / phenylephrine "Did not really get the experience that I wanted. When I took this product, my runny nose and congestion did not go away. Instead, it made me get bloody noses with the runny nose. When I tried to blow it out, my congestion did not allow anything to go through. The cough and mucus did not seem to go away either. Do not buy this."

Brompheniramine / dextromethorphan / phenylephrine "My 8.5-year-old takes this on occasion when his allergy meds aren't helping his runny nose and he gets a post-nasal drip-induced cough. It helps him tremendously, especially at night. Always read the medication's label, and do not give this medication to a child under the age of 6."

Brompheniramine / dextromethorphan / phenylephrine "My child is almost 12 months, and her doctor told me to get this medicine. My child has been awake for about 14 hours straight. So I would recommend, no matter what your child's doctor says, go by the label!"
