Mary Poppins said it best in her iconic song, "A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down." I don't know about you, but getting my boys to take medicine for colds in the past has not always been the easiest thing in the world.

Raise your hands if you have had to threaten sitting on a child to get them to drink the flavored cough syrup? Yeah, me too, and we're not alone. In a new national survey of U.S. parents of children (ages 4-13), 40% say that they find it isn't always easy to give their child(ren) over-the-counter liquid cough and cold medicine. Now, there is a new solution to this age old problem, Dr. Cocoa chocolate flavored medicine for coughs and colds.

What is Dr. Cocoa?

Dr. Cocoa™ for Children is the first-ever cough and cold medicine for children with patented formulas combining trusted, effective ingredients with 10% real cocoa for great chocolate taste to make giving medicine to kids easier.

Dr. Cocoa is available in three different varieties to perfectly fit your needs in treating your child's symptoms. Dr. Cocoa Long-Acting Cough Relief, Dr. Cocoa Daytime Cough+Cold Relief and Dr. Cocoa Nighttime Cough+Cold Relief.

We recently came back from a two week trip around Florida, and at the very end of it, Joshua my oldest caught a small cold. Unfortunately, after returning home he passed it on to the rest of us. Luckily, three out of my four boys are still within the 4-13 age range that can be treated with Dr. Cocoa products.

I decided to give it a try, and from the moment I poured the thick rich chocolate formula from the bottle, I had no problems getting the boys to take their dose. They all said it had a great chocolate taste, and best of all, it worked wonders at minimizing their symptoms. I love that Dr. Cocoa can help parents fight the cold and not the child. It certainly will be a staple in our home from now on. You can see Dr. Cocoa in action in this Youtube Video.
