Hyland's Cough Syrup

So with all the bru ha ha going around about not giving young children mutli symptom meds for colds, we are left wondering how the heck we can help our kids when they're up all night coughing and crying.
My daughter recently had a very nasty cough that sent us to her pediatrician, who is a gem by the way. Dr. B suggested maybe using honey as a cough suppressant and with a good reason. A recent study (I don't remember where I read it) showed that buckwheat honey was more effective at suppressing a cough in young children than the leading medicated cough suppressant.
As I was headed to the honey aisle at my local Whole Foods, I saw the Hyland's cough syrup for kids http://www.hylands.com/products/coughsyrup4kids.php and I thought I would try it. Guess what? It actually helped my daughter's cough quiet down and she was able to sleep. Since it's made with a honey base, my daughter didn't mind taking it. Please note that this syrup is only meant for kids ages 2 and up because of the honey.
