How Benylin Children's Night Coughs Works

This medicine combines two active ingredients to tackle multiple symptoms:

• Diphenhydramine hydrochloride: An antihistamine that helps to relieve coughing and dry secretions in the nose and chest, often linked to colds & flu or allergies.
• Levomenthol: Works to help your child breathe more easily by relieving congestion in the airways.

Together, these ingredients help to ease your child's discomfort from night coughs, congestion, and associated allergy symptoms, allowing them to rest.
