A doctor prescribed my 5 year old son codeine / promethazine at 5ml doses. should i be concerned?

High range: If your kid is big for age this is at the higher end of the recommended amount and usually reserved for kids over 6. Most at this age get by on half this amount, if needed. Monitoring the kid for drowsiness and sedation are important. I prescribe this med occasionally but only a few times per year. Most kids can benefit from available otc meds.

Doc gave me promethazine/ codeine cough syrup. I'm really sick with strep and cough. But I take 40 mg of citalopram. Isn't that dangerous to take?
