I just brought for my kids syrup with vitamins and echinacea. One of them dont like the taste. How can I get her to take it? And for my self I brought the same in tablet form. I brought it at the pharmacy.

My kids also keep getting sick so I bought vitamins. However the gummy ones ( without gelatin) all have corn syrup and lots of sugar which I don't want to use. I bought melt able tablets but my kids hate them ; one kid even throws up from it.
Any good vitamins that taste decent and don't have loads of garbage?

Some of these syrups and tablets are full of junk! Read the ingredients. I once bought an immune boosting liquid w/o checking ingredients. After giving it for a week and sstill no results, I read the ingredients. the second ingredient was some kind of artificial sweetener!!! Of course the kid wasn't getting better. Sugar fights the white blood cells which are there to help us heal.

I did well with a warm air vaporizer in the kids' room. I put it up every night. that got rid of sniffles bh AND it is extrememly helpful for hte eczema that one kid suffers from.

I know, that drives me crazy.
here's the elderberry syrup recipe I use- it contains elderberries, distilled water, raw honey, cinnamon, cloves and ginger. MUCH cheaper than storebought also.

since that recipe contains honey, I would do this for babies between 6 months and 1 year:
(ETA: that didn't come out so clear. according to my pediatrician, elderberries are ok for babies over 6 months. since babies still can't have honey until 1 year, I'd do this instead of the syrup)
