A member asked:

I think my child is addicted to cold syrup, what do i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

How did it happen: First of all how old is hte child? You need to make sure the child had no access to medications unless it is under supervison. And yes you ned to talk to the pediatrican to handle it if already addicted..
