A majority of drugs that doctors prescribe for kids have never been tested in children. Even over-the-counter cough and cold remedies that used to be marketed to parents for sniffly tots are no longer considered effective or even safe for children less than 6 years old. How can we sort out how to treat children safely?
Parents and grandparents also want to do all they can to protect children from environmental hazards like lead or pesticides. Which ones are really worth worrying about, and how can you avoid them?

I have grandchildren who were born premature and have more than their share of health issues. How can I encourage my kids to stop using so many drugs with the kids? I hate to be critical since they feel they are doing their best to keep them healthy.
Your talk this morning was brilliant. My daughter had an appointment this am for flu shots for her 2 children and I caught her in time to check were they the OK ones. They were not.
Many thanks.
