I have a chronic cough that gets worse after a cold or flu. The Robitussin Cough Gels make it possible for me to sleep and function during the day without constant interference of coughing. I like to keep them on hand for just such occasions. They are convenient, do not cause the sleepiness that cough syrups often cause, and work great!
