INFANT COUGH & COLD MEDICINE

In response to Health Canada (Public Enquiry 1-866-225-0709) concern, major makers of children medicine are removing their under-2-years-of-age products from the market. These products generally contain more than 1 ingredient and pose life-threatening risks to young children/infants due to overdose. Common cold, a viral infection, usually goes away on its own. The condition can be easily managed by rest, sufficient fluid, and comfort measures. If symptoms persist or deteriorate, bacterial infection (e.g. pneumonia) may be suspected and medical attention is in order

Johnson & Johnson (maker of Tylenol and Benylin) accepts consumer return (Consumer Hotline 1-800-265-7323)
