The people at Kaloba Syrup say:
According to a recent survey, UK children are missing 16.4 million school days each year due to time off suffering colds and coughs. Children catch as many as eight colds per year, but often deciding how best to treat them can be tricky for parents with many remedies unsuitable for children under 12 years. NEW Kaloba® Syrup (Pelargonium sidoides EPs®7630) is a licensed herbal medicine for coughs and colds, that is suitable for children aged 6+, and is even suitable for children with asthma. Kaloba® has been scientifically proven to shorten the duration of upper respiratory tract infections, such as acute bronchitis and the common cold, and reduce the severity of the symptoms. Kaloba® is antibacterial, antiviral, and has secretomotory activity (it is able to clear mucus from the respiratory tract).
