你知道非处方感冒药的年龄忌讳吗?

Still, a study published in 2010 in the journal Child: Care, Health and Development, found that about a third of parents hadn't heard of the FDA recommendations, and of those who had, a third intended to keep using the medications. An earlier University of Michigan poll from 2011 found 61% of parents with children 2 and younger had given them cough and cold medications.

不过，学术期刊《儿童：护理、保健及发育》(Child: Care, Health and Development) 2010年刊登的一篇研究论文指出，有三分之一左右的家长未听说过FDA的建议，而在听说过FDA建议的家长中，又有三分之一的人想继续使用这些药品。密歇根大学2011年展开的一项调查发现，61%的家长曾给两岁及以下的孩子服用止咳和感冒药。

Another study, published recently in Clinical Pediatrics showed even higher numbers: 82% of 65 parents of children younger than 6 said they would use the medications, and nearly three-quarters of those indicated they would administer the wrong dose.

近期在《临床儿科学》(Clinical Pediatrics)上刊登的另一项研究结果所显示的比例更高：接受调查的65名六岁以下儿童家长中，有82%的人表示会使用这些药品，其中近四分之三的人表示，他们的给药剂量会有错误。

Some parents in that study would read the instruction not to give the medications to children younger than 4 and simply make up their own dose. They often extrapolated from doses recommended for older children, said Sarah G. Lazarus, a pediatrician at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta who was the lead author. She suggests the medications' age warnings, often found only in small print, may not be prominent enough on the packaging.
