Most colds in children don't cause serious complications, and most children will get better on their own. Cough or cold medicine will not change the natural course of a cold or make it go away faster. In addition, some cough and cold medicines can have serious side effects, such as slowed breathing, which can be life-threatening, especially in infants and young children. For those reasons, it's important to know when your child needs medication, which treatments are recommended, and when to do without medicine.
