US: Fatal Child Poisonings Linked to Common Cough and Cold Meds
WebMD Health News – October 28, 2021
A number of fatal child poisonings have been linked to common cough and cold medications, according to a report. The Pediatric Cough and Cold Safety Surveillance System, which tracks fatal child poisonings, has identified 40 such deaths in recent years and raised particular concern about medications containing diphenhydramine, a common antihistamine that can be sedating.
