In late fall, news hit that cough medicines could pose dangers to young children.  Recently, the FDA has warned against the use of cough and cold products in children under 2 years of age unless given specific directions to do so by a doctor.

Today, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (”CDC”) released findings of its study of cough and cold medicines, finding that ”Cough and cold medicines send about 7,000 children to hospital emergency rooms each year.”  The study reiterates and expands upon previous warnings. 

For more information about this new study, head on over to the CDC’s website.
