If you are using a spoon as a measuring tool for your child's cough or fever medicine, you should stop immediately. American pediatricians give this advice as an order rather, according to which this is a wrong habit as it causes a bad dosage by giving more or less syrup.

The experts of the American Academy of Pediatrics say that the error often starts with the doctor who dispenses the syrup with a spoon, and this can lead to confusion between a tablespoon and a teaspoon, causing overdose and consequent liver failure. As a consequence of this, nowadays thousands of cases of taking the largest dose are known because parents get confused with the measurement.

The ideal tool for measuring medications

All parents should measure the syrup with the side of a syringe, i.e. using the "milliliter" unit. The syringe will also be even more practical to use, causing all the medication to end up in the child's mouth. you can also measure it with the side of the measuring spoon inside the package (if it has one) or the measuring cap and then give it to the child with a syringe.

Be careful with the actual weight of the child

At the moment you are at the doctor, you should ask him to weigh your child, since often a wrong dosage of the medication is also caused by the incorrect weight of the child. So you're probably not sure how much it is, so you should measure it.
