CAUTION: We recommend that you use the dropper or dosage cup that comes with your medicine to avoid over dosage. Dosage recommendations on bottles may vary from the recommendation on these pages. We would like you to use our recommended dosages unless your health care provider has given you a different (usually higher!) dosage. Aspirin should not be given to your child.

Medicine is an ever-changing art and we advise that you consult your primary care physician.

Please Note:

We do not routinely recommend cold medications to infants under 24 months of age.

We do not recommend decongestants in children under 6 years of age.

We do not recommend combination medications such as Tylenol cold or Motrin cold and flu because you often will need cold medications for a longer period of time than you will need a fever reducer.

If you require a fever medication such as Tylenol (acetaminophen) or Motrin/Advil (Ibuprofen) for more than three days, please call the office.

We do not routinely recommend Tylenol for teething. If you feel that your child needs medication for comfort give it at bedtime only.
