Duclos said he’s stressing the need for the industry to collaborate with pediatricians and pharmacists to find both short- and long-term solutions to the problem. “I was assured that an increased accelerated production rate was going to continue in order to meet the increased need that we’ve noted over the last few months, and which likely could continue over the next few months,” Duclos said.In the meantime, Sharma said parents should avoid panic buying, especially from sources that are not credible, adding fevers in children are “usually” a symptom of an infection and not harmful.
However, she said parents should see health-care practitioners for fevers that are “very high” and “persistent” or in children younger than three months. Health Canada also recommends against using expired products, Sharma said, and cautioned about the risks of giving kids adjusted doses of adult medications, “because it’s very easy to overdose on acetaminophen and cause liver injury.”
