Here are a couple of items that are important to note:

-Parents are cautioned (by drug companies) not to give cold medicine to kids under the age of 4 in this Chicago Tribune article.

- Doctors caution parents not to purchase exotic pets for kids under the age of 5 in this AOL article. Such pets (i.e. hamsters, baby chicks, hamsters, lizards, and turtles) pose a disease risk because of their germs. Also, they are more likely to bite, scratch or claw.
