Karvol Family Decongestant Drops

As I sit here writing this very review I'm sick, in fact I think I've come down with Man Flu which, considering I'm a girlie, is quite an impressive feat. I paint quite a pretty picture sat here in my PJ's and slippers, surrounded by tissues and all manner of remedies, even my kids have got into the spirit of supporting mummy through her illness and are parading around in their dressing gowns, although I did muster enough energy to get them dressed into their day clothes first.

I discovered Karvol Decongestant Drops after using the capsules. My son had been teething for about 8 weeks solid but he was full up with a cold and a nasty cough and struggling to sleep at night. I had used quite a few boxes of the capsules and when i was at the shop buying more i spotted the drops and thought that price wise they would be more economical.
