Natural health products

Natural doesnt always mean safe. Some substances can be harmful if you take too much of them, while others can cause side effects or allergic reactions. Even if a product is safe for adults, it may not be safe for children.
 
Children are still growing and developing, and their bodies may respond differently to a product or medicine than adults bodies. Natural health products can interact with other drugs, even nonprescription drugs. Talk to your childs doctor before you give a natural health product. Should I use OTC medications when my child has a cold? When your child is sick, you want them to feel better. Many parents turn to over-the-counter cough and cold medicines for help. Except for pain and fever drugs, there is no proof that they work. In fact, some of the side effects can make your child feel even worse. There is also a risk of giving your child too much medicine, such as acetaminophen on top of a cough syrup that already contains acetaminophen. Never use more than one product at the same time unless advised by your doctor.

What should I do if my child has a cold?

Offer plenty of fluids and encourage your child to rest. Colds are caused by viruses that cannot be cured with drugs. They simply need to run their course, so there is little your doctor can offer. However, more serious problems can start out as a cold. Contact your doctor if your child shows any of the following signs: Earache. Fever lasting more than 72 hours, or, any fever in a child less than 6 months of age. Excessive sleepiness, crankiness or fussiness. Skin rash Has trouble breathing. Is urinating (peeing) less. Coughing that wont go away (lasts more than a week) or is causing choking or vomiting.
