Caring for sick children has become extra stressful recently for many U.S. parents due to shortages of Children’s Tylenol and other medicines. They also say parents have alternatives if they encounter empty store shelves. “There are more sick kids at this time of year than we have seen in the past couple years,” said Dr. Shannon Dillon, a pediatrician at Riley Children’s Health in Indianapolis. Walgreens is limiting customers online to six purchases of children’s over-the-counter fever reducing products. Doctors say parents or caregivers should not try this on their own, because determining proper doses for children can be tricky.
