CHECK YOUR PRESCRIPTIONS!!!!
I have always been a huge advocate of checking your prescriptions to make sure that the label matches what your pediatrician prescribed b/c of a couple of tragic incidents that I personally know about....and yes right in our area! As the boys have gotten older I have to admit that I have not been checking them like I should. Today I went to fill S.'s prescription and I overheard the pharmacist say his dosage...it was more than H.'s of the same medicine. For those of you who know my children know that H. is bigger and therefore should require MORE of the same medicine based on his weight. I immediately called my dr.'s office to find out that H. should be taking 1tsp. and NOT 1/2 tsp. like the typed out label says. HE HAS a touch of PNEUMONIA! Not just a sinus infection BUT PNEUMONIA. My child has not been getting the right amount of medicine that he needs to get better. Thankfully this is all it was and not something more serious....so this is why I say this... CHECK YOUR CHILD'S PRESCRIPTIONS SO THAT ANY MISTAKE CAN BE CORRECTED BEFORE YOU GIVE IT TO YOUR CHILD. Mistakes can and do happen.
