so let me get this straight you want to give a 3-year-old child adult cold medicine? the answer is absolutely not and when i looked at the package it clearly states to not give to children under 12. it is very important to understand that children are not "little adults" and you have to be very careful when it comes to medication and read the package. have you tried running a vaporizer? at this point you can also use some vicks baby rub but that is all that i would recommend until he can be evaluated and seen by a health care provider.
is it okay if i give my 3-year-old alka-seltzer plus night-time cold for his sore throat body aches and hoarse cough?
