Manufacturers Remove Drugs for Infant Cold - New York Times

I know that with our kids, cold medicine has been a challenge, dosage is always a question, and it appears now that it doesn't even work, but just knocks them out and is very dangerous. Something to think about...

Manufacturers Remove Drugs for Infant Cold - New York Times:
"Infant cough-and-cold products were approved decades ago without adequate testing in children because experts assumed that children were simply small adults, and that drugs approved for adults must also work in children. More recent research showed that neither assumption was true. Indeed, recent studies suggest that pediatric cough and cold medicines work no better than placebos."
