Is Midol Tablet Advisable For Stomach Problems In Children?
My 10 year old is starting to have PMS symptoms. She has had stomach problems for a few months now 28 days apart and has the major mood swings. Nothing seems to help her stomach feel better. I tried giving her one of my midol pills yesterday just to see if that made her feel better, reg children s meds don t seem to be doing the trick. Now I wonder if I should be giving it to her. she said it helped and worked all day. Can I give her another one today or am I wrecking her liver while she is so young?
Dear parent, you said PMS for a ten year. Is she menstruating already? If yes its better to take advise from a medical practitioner, because it seems a precocious puberty, if at all. If not so, then also for such a pain you need medical advise. Be rest assured a tablet and two will not harm her if given rarely, but not the adult dose at this age.
