You may have heard the
statement, children are just little adults. Well that is true, but it’s also
not true when it comes to medicine. You just can’t give the same drugs to
children that you give to adults, and you can’t give half the dose, or anything
like that. Many medications cannot be processed by children. Many medications
given to children can cause problems in bone development, teeth development.
All of these things have to be checked into. So if you have a medication at
home that you think worked for you, just don’t give it to your child. Check
with your doctor, and find out if they need their own prescription, or their
own dose.
