Children are not mini adults: Common medicines parents give, but doctors say no for kids
Children are not small adults, and medications can affect them differently. Experts warn against self-medicating children with common over-the-counter drugs, including cough syrups and painkillers, as incorrect dosages or ingredients can lead to serious harm. Some medicines, like aspirin, pose life-threatening risks. Always consult a pediatrician before administering any medication to your child.
