COLD/COUGH MEDICINES CAN KILL BABIES  Over-the-Counter
Cold and Cough Medicines Can Kill Babies: During this time of year when many children and adults are sick with colds and coughs, the CDC has come out with a startling report. More than 1,500 toddlers and babies wound up in emergency rooms over a two-year period and three died because of bad reactions to cold or cough medicine, federal health officials reported Thursday. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned parents not to give common over-the-counter cold remedies to children under 2 years old without consulting a doctor. Parents of small children with coughs and colds frequently give medicine to alleviate their symptoms and make them more comfortable. But doctors and the CDC are warning that this can be more dangerous than just letting the cold run its course. There are no dosing instructions for cough or cold medicines for children under the age of two. Dr. Michael Shannon, chief of emergency medicine at Children's Hospital Boston, said it's common, especially in the winter, to see emergency room cases of toddlers given cough or cold medicine. So what do parents do to help their children avoid or colds, coughs and flu during the cold and flu season? Conducting interviews on this topic is author and eating coach Christy Wade.
