Children are much more sensitive than adults when it comes to the effects of any medication. Providing the correct medication and dosage is of utmost importance.

There are common sense rules to keep in mind:

  • Keep all medicines out of reach of children.
  • Check with your doctor before giving a child aspirin products or more than one drug.
  • Keep in mind that over-the-counter medications are indeed drugs. Be cautious.
  • Only give liquids in proper dosage.
  • Uses syringes appropriately to the need.
  • Never use a medicine for a use not described on the label unless directed by a doctor.

Financial assistance may be available to pay for a child's health insurance or costs of health care.
