| Pediatricians Say Drug Infants to Aid Vaccinations |
For years, many of us have been giving our children cold and flu over-the-counter medications like Dimetapp, Robitussin, and Pediacare. Recently, drug makers pulled from sale oral cough and cold medicines for children under the age of 2. Now petitioners are claiming that they are not only useless, but potentially unsafe for kids as old as 6.
The FDA is still waiting to hear from a panel of outside experts in pediatrics and nonprescription drugs, which is expected to respond by late Friday, October 19, 2007. I say we go back to the old fashion home remedies our grandmas used like honey, lemon and garlic, or boiled coca-cola for coughs, chicken soup for colds, rubbing alcohol for fever, and saline solution or Vick's vapor rub for congestion. There is nothing more soothing than a grandma's touch. Better safe than sorry!
