It is a very usual activity of all parents to slip in a dosage of medicine to their kids when their kids catch a cold. But the consequences are really unbearable because the medicines are abusing the children. The study found that an average 160 issues per year are coming into vision in which medicines were nastily utilized on children.

It is considered that the nasty use of drugs may be an under-documented form or a part of child mistreatment. This is according to the author and pediatrician Dr. Shan Yin.

By means of information from the National Poison Data System, Yin concluded that children were mainly receiving pain reliever, stimulants, road drugs, tranquilizer, hypnotics and cough or cold drugs. He came to know that 1,439 issues between the years 2000 to 2008, 14 % ended in damages, and 18 children departed from their life.

More than ½ of the issues involved at least one painkilling drug; 17 of the 18 issues of deaths included narcotics. Yin commented that the poison information most probably misjudged the authentic number of issues.
