You Might Be Giving Your Child a Dangerous Dose of Liquid Medicine

Giving a small child the incorrect dose of medicine can be very dangerous – even making her sicker than before she took the medication. A new study shows that in some cases, parents are giving their child as much as double the prescribed dose of liquid medicine. Pediatrician Dr. Cindy Gellner talks about what might be causing parents to incorrectly measure the dose and how to prevent giving your child more medicine than her body really needs.
