Wow! That is kind of scary! Are you having to dispense any of it to the child or did the parents just alert you to the fact that the child is on it?
I'd be really leary of having to give any kind of meds to a child. I don't keep Tylenol and or Advil or anything on hand and have it in my handbook that I will not give kids ANY meds. I just don't want the responsibility and/or liability.
If you are dispensing, I would make sure you have the parents written permission.
I don't know that is a tough situation.
I have all those rules in my handbook but I have never actually encountered the situation where a parent needed me to give meds to their child. Or have a child on any kind of medication like that.
