HEllo people! I know that we all have drunk some syrups when we still was kids, because we got cold and the doctor said so. I know how awful it was to me, but now it isn't. And what about you, do you still dislike/hate it? :)

I don't really know exactly if I tolerated those syrups when I was a little kid. I think I should better ask my mom about it...But right now, I should say that I am not taking those syrups anymore. I am already an adult now, so I am more on capsules and tablets and my vitamins are tablets and I just swallow it and it will be absorb with my body.

But if it would come to a point that I need to drink syrups, then there's no problem with me for as long as I will be OK and I will be back to normal. And even though I don't like the taste, still, my priority is my health. And I need to have a good health in order for me to resume well on my daily activities.happyhugs


myLot reputation of 99/100. phoenix8606 (2645)   ranked 483 out of 8,776 in health  2 years ago

well, I still remember how awful they were and I guess that they still are, and how disgusted I was every time I had to drink it :(
Now I don't need any syrups or any other midicines/vitamins just because I don't get sick, but ven then I driink only some tea or if it is something worse I take some antibiotics!


myLot reputation of 99/100. joannaleed (6342)  2 years ago

Well, let's all pray that we will always be healthy so that we don't drink that syrups or any antibiotics to help us well. I mean, being healthy is really good to make us all up and do our daily activities or routines really well.happy

Normally i swallow a tablet when i have a cold.Its the cough that forces me to take the syrup.I find these syrups useful in reducing cough.Though i took them with reluctance in the beginning,i now take them without fuss as they help in alleviating cough.


myLot reputation of 99/100. phoenix8606 (2645)   ranked 483 out of 8,776 in health  2 years ago

yes, they are really useful otherwise people wont use them rofl, but I don't like how they tastefeeling sick till date I have only once tried a syrup which was with a really good taste and I even wanted to drink it after I got better!lol

HELLO again wink
Not really!! when I was little my mother would make me drink those awful syrups and I always dislike them. But now that I am an adult and leave by my own rules I don't drink this stuff anymore devil I just let my cold go away on its own I don't like to give my body drugs LOL unless I really need to. And not to mention I have a very balance diet that helps me to fight colds, I hardly ever get one.


myLot reputation of 99/100. phoenix8606 (2645)   ranked 483 out of 8,776 in health  2 years ago

hell0 Adalie! How are you, my Spanish friend?have a nice day
yes, I also remember how my mom made me drink them and then let me drink some juice in order not to vomit all of it on the carpet rofl but as you tell, now I don't have todrink them, because I have as strong immune system and the cold, when I have some, just go away by its own, just like in your case, and maybe it is not the best way, but I just doslike medicines, i only drink some tea and that's all!rasp


myLot reputation of 99/100. Adalie (1491)  2 years ago

I am fine, and yourself?Thanks for asking =)
same as you, I had to drink something else or I would vomit feeling sick
my doctor told me one time to take it easy with cold medicines. They are not good for your liver if you abuse the dose whistle and if you drink the same cold medicine over and over again it will become part of your system and it won't work any more because your cold will know how to fight it. So don't drink the same medicine over and over again. I am old fashioned; so same as you I drink some tea, hot chicken soup or hot lemonade rofl


myLot reputation of 99/100. phoenix8606 (2645)   ranked 483 out of 8,776 in health  2 years ago

I am fine too! well, Hot Lemonadew00t soudns really weird. does it really help or you're just kidding, because I can try it next time I caught cold :)


myLot reputation of 99/100. Adalie (1491)  2 years ago

No sweetie I am not kidding, is an old Spanish remedy from my granny.
It helps you because of all the vitamin C in the lemons, you don't have to drink it hot unless is winter time wub I love winter time, anyway it has to be homemade and not bought w00t


myLot reputation of 99/100. phoenix8606 (2645)   ranked 483 out of 8,776 in health  2 years ago

yeah, the homemade lemonade is definitely much much better than the bought one, even the taste is comletely different, or at least itis here in my country :) well, as I told you, next time I will try it, hope it wont be really necessary have a nice day

Hello my friend!.

I drink a lot medical syrup when I was child because that time I was so easy to sick. I have my own doctor who keep giving me a certain medicine.

Thats way I don't like medicine in any form including syrup because when i was child I already consume it to many. Today I got caught I just made syrup from lemon lime or ketchup or eating loquat fruit I will feel much better.


myLot reputation of 99/100. phoenix8606 (2645)   ranked 483 out of 8,776 in health  2 years ago

hell0 there!
well, I wasn't sick that often as a kid, but every time I caught cold my mother supposed to bring me to doctor and he always gave me these syrups angry can you imagine how "HAPPY" i was to see him with the syrup or the recipe for it in handangry hope iwill never have to drink them again

Oh I remember a syrup which is of rose color and it was very sweet but I do not like to drink it,I simply hated the name syrup itself, it means you are very ill and you are being cured by something called a sweetener but which has medicines in it.


myLot reputation of 99/100. phoenix8606 (2645)   ranked 483 out of 8,776 in health  2 years ago

haha, guess you have a "sickness phobia" if there is something like that w00t I also have drunk a sweet syrup just once, but I liked it really much. I can't actually remember what was its taste

feeling sickSyrups really taste bad, but now they have some flavored ones. They are still awful but they are better than when I was young. If I get a cold now, I usually just take a pill. If I have a cough though the syrup seems to help calm it down. Also if my throat is sore, sometimes the syrup makes it feel a little better.


myLot reputation of 99/100. phoenix8606 (2645)   ranked 483 out of 8,776 in health  2 years ago

well, I don't know what syrups are there now, because I haven't taken any since many years, but actually don't want to, because I guess I wont like them :) when my throat is sore, i only drink some hot tea or take some tablets

Yes i have drunk many times. There are some pet syrups which my mom used to give me in my childhood and some of them i use even today.
But mostly i prefer not to have medicines. I think if i just take in each or my disease , my immunity system will get weaken , so i try to avoid for minor problems now.


myLot reputation of 99/100. phoenix8606 (2645)   ranked 483 out of 8,776 in health  2 years ago

yes, my friend. I do it that way- when I am sick/have cold i only drink some tea and wait for it to go away, but I guess it is so becaues I have a strogn immune system and I easily get better, but if you think your immune system is not that well, you should not try i, because it can be dangerous for you!

I think all kids don't like cough syrup(except for mine anyway), even though they got some pretty tasty ones now a days. This probably has to do with someone telling the kid they have to. LOL! But now as an adult, not only do I know it is best that I follow the doctor's instructions. But usually I want to get better anyway and know that's the BEST way. As kids we think there is a magick remedy that isn't yucky, but parents are just to mean to give it to them! LoL!! I tolorate it now because I can 1)Chase it with whatever I want, and 2)Have a more traveled palate to stomach the taste.


myLot reputation of 99/100. phoenix8606 (2645)   ranked 483 out of 8,776 in health  2 years ago

well, about the doctor's instructions I am really not sure and can't agree, because i know many cases of wrong diagnoses with a lethal end and I really prefer to treat myself alone at home if it is not something serious then going to doctor :)
I am so happy that nowadays I don't have to drink those syrups anymore


myLot reputation of 77/100. tav_8164 (116)   ranked 5,618 out of 8,776 in health  2 years ago

This is true as far as the mis-diagnosis, but as a kid my parents would say I had to take my medicine cause the doctor said so... To me as a kid my parents didn't know more than a doctor so I did what the doctor said. These days I can't afford health care so I can't even go to a doctor so they can tell me what to do. I usually just wait it out if it isn't too bad. But about once a year I get ONE REALLY BAD cold that confines me to my house for at least a week! The only way to get over it is with medicine.


myLot reputation of 99/100. phoenix8606 (2645)   ranked 483 out of 8,776 in health  2 years ago

yes, as kids we should listen to our parents, and do that what they have told us, but now when we are alerady adults, we can decide what to do by our own :)

Yeah, some awful syrups smell really bad, but I often got sick when I was a kid, so I have got used to it, and I really like the injection, I prefer to get a injection rather than drink some syrups and eat some tablets. I don't know why, but until now, I still like to choose the injection when I am sick...


myLot reputation of 99/100. phoenix8606 (2645)   ranked 483 out of 8,776 in health  2 years ago

well, i am really not sure what of these two would I prefer- the syrup or the injection because I was really scare of injection as a kid and the feeling itself, I know it wasn't something that painful, but i just hated it! maybe now I will choose the injection instead of the syrup rofl
