你知道非处方感冒药的年龄忌讳吗?

在该研究中，一些受访家长看过四岁以下儿童不宜服用的说明后会自行判断给药剂量。研究论文的第一作者、亚特兰大儿童医院(Children's Healthcare of Atlanta)的儿科医生拉扎勒斯(Sarah G. Lazarus)称，家长通常会根据针对年长一些的儿童的推荐剂量来进行推断。她指出，药品包装上的年龄警告（通常只用小字标注）可能不够醒目。

Doctors say they sometimes struggle to convince parents.

医生们表示，有时候他们很难说服家长。

'They're using them because their children are sick, and they want to do something,' says Daniel Frattarelli, who chairs the American Academy of Pediatrics' committee on drugs. He advises against the drugs. But if a mom hears from a friend who has used them and believes they work, he said he expects sometimes to be ignored.

美国儿科学会(American Academy of Pediatrics)药品委员会主席弗拉塔雷利(Daniel Frattarelli)称：“家长用这些药是因为他们的孩子病了，他们想做点什么。”他建议不要用药。但他说，如果一个妈妈听说有朋友用过这些药，并且相信这些药有效的话，他估计他的建议有时会被置之脑后。

Parents who avoid the over-the-counter medications are instead branching out with other treatments. Margaret Willis of Dearborn, Mich., whose 16-month-old daughter is a patient of Dr. Frattarelli's, says she is 'frustrated' that there aren't any medicines for her toddler's frequent colds and coughs.
