I spared a mother further sleepless nights

One mother came in to see specialist. Her child also took medicine from a GP. Came to my bench and I went thru her child's current meds and asked if the child is taking any other meds.

She was wise enough to draw a list. I went through with her the drugs and which not to take together. Saw triprolidine plus pseudoephedrine (Actifed). Pointed to her that when child takes this, child may not go to sleep easily.

She looked at me, then look at the child then gave a face and said ,"Doctor never told me."

Then told her to give it to child 3-4 hours before bed time.
