Medications and your child

It can be difficult to make sense of children’s medications. 

Once it was sugar on a dummy that fixed all ailments, and today I meet a lot of parents giving panadol or phenergan to ‘help' their child off to sleep. Here’s a well researched webpage that talks about common medications used with children, with advice on how they work and when to use - or not use. Its a really balanced report that could help you make a quick and safe response when you’re caring for an unwell child. 

You're welcome to contact FamilyWorks if you have concerns about your child.
