Doctors say young children are much more likely than adults to have bad reactions to medications and with flu season underway, they're reminding us about some drugs we shouldn't give to preschoolers.
According to
babycenter.com, topping the list is Aspirin and over the counter cough and cold medications.
Also, anti-nausea medicines. Never give children adult medications or medicine prescribed for someone else.
As well, avoid anything that's expired or that has extra acetaminophen in it.
Finally, make sure you don't give them the Chinese herb ma huang, which also goes by the name ephedra or ephedrine.
