 For coughs, syrups may not be a panacea - The Boston Globe
Over-the-counter cough syrups generally contain drugs in doses too low to be effective or have combinations of drugs that have not been proven to treat coughs, said Dr. Richard Irwin, chairman of a cough guidelines committee for the American College of Chest Physicians.
Many over-the-counter cough medicines advertise that they don't cause drowsiness, but Irwin said that is because they do not contain older antihistamine drugs that do help relieve coughs that are due to colds.
Some syrups contain two drugs that have been shown to help relieve coughs -- codeine and dextromethorphan -- but generally the doses are too small to be effective, Irwin said.

 January 2006 Press Release
Once whooping cough takes hold, the coughing patient is at risk of serious complications of coughing, such as vomiting, breaking ribs, passing out, and passing the infection on to others.
An acute cough is generally caused by a “common cold”; a subacute cough can linger after a cold or may persist due to a respiratory tract infection, such as whooping cough or other postinfectious cough.
Endorsed by the American Thoracic Society and the Canadian Thoracic Society, the new ACCP cough guidelines were developed by an international committee of individuals with expertise and research experience related to cough from the fields of adult and pediatric pulmonology and respirology, pharmacology, neurology, speech and swallowing, and anatomy and physiology.

Unlike commercial cough medicines which are typically flavored, colored, and sweetened as if containing actual cherry fruits, our formula is made the way traditional wild cherry bark cough syrups have been made since the nineteenth century.
Although ingredients in our formula have been used traditionally to treat coughs at least since the early nineteenth century (and volumes of anecdotal evidence support their success rate), we cannot label our syrup a cough syrup because it does not contain one of the chemicals that the FDA deems necessary to include for such labeling.

A study published in the July issue of the American Academy of Pediatrics's official journal, "Pediatrics", suggests that over-the-counter cough suppressants may be no more useful for calming a cough in children than simple sugar syrup.
