Very interesting. I never give that stuff when the kids are little, I even have a hard time giving pain relievers unless they are really out of it.

:yeah I don't take it either though. Alaina just had a fever for three days straight with no other symptoms and I only gave her Advil twice when the fever was interfering with her getting good sleep.

Interesting... I liked the doc at the end that said:

"The best thing (parents) can do is support with fluids and lots of kisses and time, because lots of infections are viral and will pass in a few days..."

SO TRUE!
