What do the updated labels say?
The medications themselves are the same medicines you’ve relied on for years when caring for your children, but they now have labels that advise parents and caregivers not to use them for children under age 4. In addition, oral OTC cough and cold medicines containing antihistamines (which are clearly labeled with that word in the “uses” section of the Drug Facts label) carry a warning: Do not use to sedate or make a child sleepy.
