[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our DD has a little head cold. She's 5.5yo and tall for her age. We are out of her age appropriate cold medicine, but have the 6+ cold medicine her brother uses. Given her above average size, would it harm her to just go ahead and give her the dosage for a 6yo? [/quote] Nothing magical is going to happen when she turns 6, and there are surely 6-year-olds who are smaller than she is. I would feel comfortable giving my child the dosage for a 6 yo. If I were on the fence and this medicine were my only option, I would give her 3/4 of the dosage. -NOT a medical professional[/quote]
