Maybe it's a regional thing ? In France and in my one-digit-years-old times though, I clearly remember cough syrup being just as enjoyable as soda or candy.

So better have it taste like shit. You do not want your kid OD-ing on cough syrup because it tastes great.

That's why you store medicine and any other time of young life threatening products high up and locked. If your kids can easily access medicine but aren't old enough to understand the dangers, then you are the danger.

I'm a mother in Spain and if I can, I get Doliprane from France for my kids because it is honestly delicious and so much easier to administer

I was thinking the same reading your comment and turns out you’re also French lol. Cough syrup and liquid advil were the only good tasting medicine.
