If your child is fighting a stuffy nose or cold, don’t be tempted to reach for an over-the-counter cough or cold medicine, says Donald Traver, MD, a Castle Rock pediatrician. “There’s been no indication that for kids under the age of 6 these medicines are beneficial and may even be harmful,” he says. Side effects can include breathing problems and seizures.
