Children are more sensitive than adults to many drugs.
Antihistamines and alcohol, for example, two common ingredients in cold medications, can have adverse effects on young patients, causing excitability or excessive drowsiness. Both alcohol and aspirin are present in some children's medications and are listed on the label. The younger the child, the trickier using medicine is. Prescription drugs, also, can work differently in children than adults. Some barbiturates, for example, which make adults feel sluggish, will make a child hyperactive.
