Children are frequently susceptible to coughs and colds.

The study focuses on the typical issues and difficulties that children and adolescents face, namely how frequently they catch colds and coughs. Due to the unexpected changes in the weather, children were primarily affected by cough and cold infections. Most children will have at least 6 to 8 colds a year, commonly caused by rhinoviruses via airborne droplets. The objective of this research is to diminish the frequency and susceptibility of children and adolescents to common coughs and colds.

COVID-19 lockdown altering children's immune systems.

Children have weaker immune systems compared to adults, making them more vulnerable to infections and viruses. This vulnerability to infections, especially colds and coughs, has been proven to be intensified by the COVID-19 lockdown. Although the lockdown subsided the spread of the said virus, it appears that infants and children became more vulnerable to contracting a cold, for their immune systems have not been exposed to common cold viruses as they normally would be during the pandemic. With a similar objective to the first's, this study intends to recede children's vulnerability to cough and cold during and after the pandemic.

Major refusal of children to standard medication.

Seattle Children's stated that the bitter taste of conventional medications is one of the primary factors children struggle to adhere to them. While encapsulating medicines in pill, capsule, or tablet form to avoid repulsive tastes are problematic because most children cannot swallow them. Explaining why children resist taking medication points out that their taste receptors are quite different from adults, hence children prefer something that is sweet or associated with something sweet. This study aims to help the public resolve such household dilemma and advance in the optimization of children's oral pharmaceuticals to further improve their overall health.

Lack of access to essential healthcare services and medications.

Access to healthcare and medications is one of the fundamental and crucial essentials of living, yet roughly 400 million citizens are deprived of this. According to the World Health Organization, 2023, none of the tactics and approaches used to monitor and regulate drug pricing have been proven to be effective, and efforts are currently being made to promote just and affordable medication. In this research paper, potential solutions to the crucial problem of ensuring universal access to high-quality medications will be examined, with the intent of expanding the availability of effectual, inexpensive drugs to all sectors of the community.

A Question to over-the-counter drugs safety and efficacy.

Over-the-counter (OTC) treatments for coughs and colds are available (e., expectorants and suppressants), and the general public heavily relies on them. However, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) strongly advises not to adhere to OTC in treating pediatric patients with coughs and cold symptoms. These drugs are unsafe for their health and can cause severe and potentially life-threatening side effects. Furthermore, there is still little to no evidence proving the effectiveness of such drugs. This experimental study attempts to ascertain the effectiveness and feasibility of Herbal Gummies as a safe alternative to OTCs for children's coughs and colds.
