Hello,
My 11 yr old son has severe bronchitis and was perscribed a cough syrup called Tussionex Pennkinetic. I looked it up on a drug info board and it say that it has Hydrocodone in it! That makes me a bit nervous he's only 11! I didn't know the doctor that saw him - it was one of those walk-in places because it was late last night.
Is anyone out there farmiliar with this medication? Will this make him feel funny? If the cough wasant so severe I would probably just stick to OTC but it's so bad that he can't even sleep at night.
Any feedback would be appreciated!
