Re: cough medicine

[Guest guest]

Speaking as a mother of a teenager (and a preteen), I am glad they are not

making it easy for them to get ahold of the cold meds to get high. Yes

Iknow there are also other things such as inhalants. This is a very

difficult time in their lives.

I cannot imagine if my child took a bunch and died and someone said this to

me

"

THis is crazy, shoot just make all drugs legal and let the dumb stupid

druggies kill themselves. If they want to act dumb then fine less

stipid people in the world. AUGH. "

Purely devistating.

Well, I can see what she was saying and that is the

opinion of a lot of people (not mine however), but i

think generally that type of thinking is more about

the adults out there who are killing themselves with

drugs who should know better. One sometimes forgets

that children / teenagers do incredibly stupid things

and there are any number of disreputable and downright

evil people who do take advantage of that fact. So,

just as we did when they were small, we as parents,

still have to watch over and try to protect our

children from themselves and those who would prey on

them. And, sometimes it is reassuring to know that we

are not the only ones who are trying their darndest to

protect them too. It certainly does impinge on others

rights to a certain extent, but it's sort of like when

you grounded your kids from an activity or something

important and then had to deprive yourself of

something so you could stay home with them while they

were grounded. Not much fun for you, but you had to

inconvenience yourself to teach your child something.

Many years ago, more than I care to admit, my Rebekah

(now 29), took the deodorizing cake that was in the

top of the diaper pail out and stuck it in her mouth.

How she got it out is beyond me as it was supposedly

child proof. But, after rinsing her mouth out a

million times and making sure she hadn't ingested any

(a nice new smooth cake with no pieces missing), I

called the Dr and he said, " Children will try any

number of ways to try and kill themselves. " It always

struck me as a very funny, true and scary thing to

say.

Well, yes I was mainly speaking of the adults out there but also kids

too if suppose. If instead of taking things away from the world the--

world should instead say here, this is what youve got. Yes this is

medicine for colds and coughs but it could also be used as a drug

since it is technically a drug. And since it is a drug if you use it

not according to how it is prescribed then many bad things canhappen.

For one you can die. and two if I will kill you myself if you do it

and many other not so good things will happen to you. Then let the

child make their own descision. If a person has raised a pretty

decent child and taught them to repect not only themselves and their

freinds and family but also life in general then the person will

learn to make the right desicions. Of course the person does need to

grow up with a good sense of self esteme and a decent sense of self.

Granted i am unsure if I had much self esteam growing up but I know

there i never once did i even think of doing any type of drugs or

smoking nore have I ever gotten drunk. No way would I put not only

myself but those i care about in that type of position. I could have

if i wanted to but I didn't.

I have also noticed that the more you take something away from a

person the more curious it makes them. Everyone will want to try and

get there hands on things just out of curiosity. people are like " ok

well they won't let people just go in and buy cough meds anymore

cause supposibly people get high, ok lets go and give it a try. see

what it really does " If they just leave it on the shelf for anyone

to get then obviously it isn't that big a deal and no one would think

anything differant.

Sure everyone might think Im a moron and totally niave but all i know

is that if you really do go and say " look this is what this does and

if you still want to do it just know..... and also know that we wil

all be very disapointed and you arn't only hurting yourself but

everyone else who cares about you. " then see what the person goes and

does. In most cases the person will make the right desicion. But

obviously we don't live in a world of trust and don't think people

can make proper decisions. Which is a shame.

No way am I saying that children need to get high and die. I just

shouldn't get high and will respect themselves and you and not do it.

I don't think legislation is the answer here. For one thing, consider

how many things can be abused. What if all of it were taken away? The

newest I've heard about is those cans of compressed air that is used to

clean off your keyboard or blow dust out of your computer. Kids have

died using it. Check out this link for more information:

http://www.snopes.com/toxins/dustoff.asp.

There are solutions, but they aren't fast or easy. Our society and the

politicians are happy with applying band-aids, so we have restrictions

on cold medicine, can't get lye in the stores, may not be able to pick

up a six pack of beer or a bottle of wine if my teen aged son or

daughter is with me (I might be buying it for them), need ID to get a

can of shaving cream (no 17 year old shaves?), can't bring nail clippers

on vacation with me if I'm flying (they might be weapon), and so on and

so on.

Well I understand where your comming from; but I remember a

particular parent saying to me come on take it it taste yummy!! Or

you have to take it to feel better; and when a person is down and

out on there luck and not thinking clearly, they turn to drugs and

alcohol thinking it will help and all it does is numb them for what

a minute!!

Yeah if they do it knowingly they deserve the out come BUT there are

thousands of children out there whom are forced and or pressured to

do drugs or alcohol, and soon they will be changing mouth washes as

well as many house hold products because they find a high in almost

anything!!

eg: Mouth washes, aresoals(sp), Cough syrups, cold medicines,

Whippit cartridges (whip cream cans), Gasoline; the list can go on

for miles.

So our government is trying to prevent this from happening; but they

don't jump when a person call to report an adult liquiring up teens

on New Years eve, especially when one child was there own!! <~~~

This is my experience.

That is great information, I will be saving that!

Glad it is helping your daughter! If the cough is starting to return I would

also think it was making a difference!

You know, back in Romania, we have plants like these in Pharmacies. If you go to

the doctor, they might prescribe herbs for your problem and then you buy them in

pharmacy (but in our pharmacies you don't need an Rx for most drugs). Anyway, I

know aniseed and licorice are frequently used in cough medicines.

Also, another one that is used for cough and all kinds of diseases of the

respiratory system is what you call here " Plantago lanceolata " . Boy! This thing

brings back memories, because this is the most used syrup (made of this plant)

for cough for very small kids, and it was so tasty that sometimes we would fake

coughing

just so we can take the syrup It has lots of honey in it

I am glad your daughter feels better.

Hey Amy,

I was just about to ask how your cold was going. :-( I don¹t use cough

meds, but I do use cough assist and assisted coughing (someone pushing on my

abdomen), and lots of nebs with bronchodilators ­ do you have all that? Are

you on any antibiotics?

Love,

N

also if you are not experienced with cough assist not sure if you know you

are meant to do 5 breathes of in and out then short break of 10 secs or so

then repeat that 5 times, and with me it is often only on the 4 cycle that i

acutally feel stuff moving.

Oh no!  Hang in there!  I usually lean really far over and have my hubby push on

my stomach.  It takes a bit but usually doing that and the cough assist gets the

crap out slowly.

Hey,

The original cold went away. This cough nonsense just hit hard this

evening. Will lays on top of me and shoves my diaphragm up, too - but

nothing's working this time. I haven't used the nebulizer since '06,

so I have NOTHING. Because of some family issues, I can't even call

anyone to come stay with the kids so I can go to urgent care.

Mucinex didn't really help me either. I've still been taking about two (old

formula) Actifed a day and suctioning only small amounts of fluid. I have

vacation days all this week so I am hoping I will be all better by the time I go

back to work on the 10th.

I hope you feel better very soon! Did you start on antibiotics yet?
