  Weird volume of replies to this topic accusing the parents of overdosing their kids. I guess it's best not to criticize the country that developed the comment mill.
context: How much cough syrup were they given to die from ethylene glycol poisoning? Wikipedia says around  4 mL of PURE EG for a 20 kg child for medical treatment to be necessary. Were the bottles just pure eg? If so that's a bit more than a whoopsy.
  Pretty much everything in a pharmacy seems to be made in India, cough syrup under a lot less strict controls? 
  Going to have to think twice about my hobby of getting tiddlywinked off the 'tussin for awhile. >
  
  4 mL is less than a teaspoon. The other ingredients doesn't add much volume, they make the syrup thicker and denser.
