Docs Support FDA Cough Medicine Warning - Government Warns Parents About Giving Kids Over-the-Counter Cold Remedies

Excerpt:
"Every parent in the country is likely familiar with over-the-counter cold medicines -- and even comfortable reaching for them when their children are ill.

The FDA said that children under 2 shouldn't be given these remedies without a doctor's order because of serious adverse effects, including death."
