Parents need to be educated to read the labels of any OTC preparation they give their children. Many of these preparations contain the same ingredients and inadvertent overdose is a common problem. Giving a child a drug should not interfere with the mother's milk production. All these products contain chemicals, which are drugs; many can be used to treat more than one symptom.
