Every 8 minutes in the US, a child receives the wrong medicine or wrong dose from a family member. Sometimes it is measured incorrectly. Sometimes a parent doesnt know the other parent gave the medicine already. To avoid these errors, use a smartphone app to keep to a medication schedule and to use only the measuring cup or syringe that comes with a medication for measuring it. If a mistake should occur, parents should keep the national poison emergency helpline handy: (800) 222-1222. nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/news/fullstory_149005.html
