Rene's right. I'm in Seattle, and all over the US they pulled almost every children's cough and cold medicine from the shelves because they had never actually been tested on children. There were some things in there that can mess with their little insides because they were all tested to cure adults. As for her not being old enough (over 2) for children's medicine, go for it, just give her half the dosage. It will still help. The only thing you can give your little one is children's Tylenol, or children's Benedryl. If you do choose to pick a couch and cold medicine, PLEASE visit the manufacturer website and make sure the product has been properly tested.
Hope she feels better! I hate it when my son feels horrible, and I feel like I can do nothing but hold him to make him feel better.
