Therapeutic options for acute cough due to upper respiratory infections in children（小児の上気道感染症による急性咳嗽に対する治療選択肢）
Ian M Paul, Lung . 2012 190(1):41-4. Abstract Cough due to upper respiratory tract infections (URIs) is one of the most frequent complaints encountered by pediatric health-care providers, and one of the most disruptive symptoms for children and families. Despite the frequency of URIs, there is limited evidence to support the few therapeutic agents currently available in the United States (US) to treat acute cough due to URI. Published, well-designed, contemporary research supporting the efficacy of narcotics (codeine, hydrocodone) and US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved over-the-counter (OTC) oral antitussives and expectorants (dextromethorphan, diphenhydramine, chlophedianol, and guaifenesin) is absent for URI-associated pediatric cough. Alternatively, honey and topically applied vapor rubs may be effective antitussives. 上気道感染症（URI）による咳に対して、はちみつとヴェポラッブは、効果的な鎮咳薬となり得る可能性があるとのことであった。
