Pediatrician, Dr. Edward Pont, discusses infant cold medicine concerns
Filed Under Physician & Health Articles | Leave a Comment
The message to parents is clear: Don’t give cold medicine to children under 2.
Drug makers on Thursday voluntarily pulled kids’ cold medicines off the market less than two weeks after the government warned of potential health risks to infants.
Some of the products contain the same ingredients involved in accidental overdoses of two unrelated Kane County infants in 2005.
A 6-month-old Aurora girl and an Elgin boy just under 2 months old both died after they were given lethal doses of prescription cold medicine containing pseudoephedrine and dextromethorphan, according to the Kane County coroner’s office.
