Serious warning against medication to children. It can stunt their growth and cause serious damage that is irreversible.

For the love of all that is pure, do not medicate your children. If they aren't well try to use natural means to make them better. All medication is dangerous on young bodies and minds. If you are taking them to a psychologist ask for mental exercises instead of medication. You will live to regret it if you medicate your children.

What type of medication are you talking about?

@InOtterWords psychotropic drugs mostly, mental health stuff. Also over the counter meds that don't address a specific ailment but are apparently recommended for all ailments. Stuff like that are nasty to be frank.

@lightshinesthroughdarkness this is ridiculous

If a child has a fever you must medicate

@InOtterWords What if you changed their diet and send them to bed. They usually wake up feeling better and eating veggies and fruits has cured many people of many ailments. Healthy lifestyle, lamb instead of pork, peas instead of candy. Just change the diet of the child, even if you only make small changes like that you will see the difference in less than a month.

@lightshinesthroughdarkness ok....my kids have a very healthy balanced diet and are rarely allowed refined sugar. If a child has a fever they do not want to eat and quite honestly it would take too libg for them to eat, digest dor it to act. Also, children cannot regulate their own body temperature and so are at risk of convulsions if their temperature cannot be brought down.

Not medicating a sick child is just cruel
