In a concession to pediatricians who have long debated whether over-the-counter remedies are effective to young children, companies who produce medicines such as Dimetapp and Pediacare are now advising parents not to give cold and cough medicines to children under the age of four.
Doctors instead say that the best remedy for sick children is plenty of rest and fluids, and lots of tender, loving care.
