Take Your Child's Health Seriously
Kids tend to become sick with more frequency than your average adult, but you should always make sure nothing more serious is going on. Over-the Counter medications are available for the purpose of treating acute illnesses such as a cold, constipation, or allergies. If you suspect something more serious is going on, refer to your pediatrician immediately.
