"Pediatrician's Expert Advice: 5 Things to Avoid When Your Kids Are Sick"

A Harvard-trained pediatrician and mother of two shares five things she never does when her own kids are sick. She doesn't wake them up for medication if they have a fever but are sleeping, as sleep is important for healing. However, if they look uncomfortable, she doesn't hesitate to give fever-controlling medication. She emphasizes the importance of looking at the child's overall appearance rather than just relying on temperature readings. Instead of using cough medications, she exclusively uses honey or cough syrup with honey as the main ingredient. Lastly, she measures medicine in milliliters to prevent errors and enhance precision.
