A member asked:

Can my daughter who is 6 and ways 56 pounds take an adult tums. she has had some diarrhea lately and said there was burning in her throat.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Avoid adult tums: Avoid giving your daughter adult tums. Tums is an antacid not for use in diarrhea. Her throat burning may be a sore throat not heart burn.
