RESEARCH FROM THE U-S CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION
SHOWS THAT MORE THAN SEVEN-THOUSAND CHILDREN HEAD TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM,
EACH YEAR, DUE TO MISUSE OF COUGH AND COLD MEDICINES. IN THE WAKE
OF RECENT U-S FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION HEARINGS ABOUT
THE SAFETY, EFFICACY, AND USE OF COLD AND COUGH MEDICATIONS WITH
CHILDREN, PARENTS MAY BE LEFT FEELING A SENSE OF CONFUSION, WHEN IT
COMES TO TREATING A CHILD SUFFERING FROM NASAL CONGESTION.
PARENTING EXPERT AND PEDIATRICIAN, DOCTOR JENNIFER SHU, SAYS THAT
MANY PARENTS MAY NOW BE SEEKING NEW, DRUG-FREE OPTIONS...

"THE RECENT F-D-A MEETING ON CHILDREN'S COUGH AND COLD MEDICINES
MAY LEAVE PARENTS WITH QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW TO TREAT A CHILD WITH NASAL
CONGESTION. PARENTS SHOULDN'T FORGET THAT THERE ARE PLENTY OF

BETTER--WITHOUT UNWANTED SIDE-EFFECTS. FOR EXAMPLE, SIMPLE, DRUG-FREE
REMEDIES--SUCH AS HUMIDIFIERS, VAPORIZERS, AND NEW 'BREATHE RIGHT' NASAL
