Best OTC Choices in Children's Sore Throat Products

Products designed to ease the pain of a sore throat for children may have much the same ingredients as adult formulations. But kids’ versions are more likely to be flavored and to have dosing information directed to younger users.

Here are Money’s picks for the best children’s motion sickness products. The selections were chosen by drugs.com, using a methodology that combines expert assessment with analysis of online reviews, ratings and other customer data.
