We have reported several times over the last couple of months about the dangers of acetaminophen (Tylenol), which sends thousands of people to emergency rooms each year with injuries. Each year, some 80,000 people are treated in emergency rooms due to injuries linked to Tylenol and some of these cases involve children.
According to Forbes, a child experiences a medication mistake every eight minutes in the United States. Some of the mistakes include children being provided with too much of a painkiller like Tylenol or ibuprofen, or cold relief products like Sudafed.
Parents make many of the medication mistakes, although they may not be making them knowingly, as there have been debates over whether products are appropriately marketed and labeled. According to Forbes, on average, at least 63,000 children under the age of six experience a non-hospital medication error each year.
“Health care leaders wonder if parents should still be so quick to give drugs like [Tylenol] to small children,” Forbes reported. “There’s a chance that the drug can damage a child’s liver, and the medical benefits can be limited.”
Remember, acetaminophen products have been linked to acute or severe liver damage. If you have concerns about giving your child Tylenol, make sure you contact your doctor and seek medical advice before you provide it to him or her.
