 Consult a Doctor Before Opting for Alternative Medicine
Parents need to be cautious and seek the advice of a doctor before giving their child alternative medicine.
A study at Sydney Children's Hospital found that many parents resort to alternative medicine without proper consultation with a doctor. Statistics show that the use of alternative medicines has doubled since 2002.

Parents must know that a combination of both standard medicine and alternative medicine can have adverse effects, therefore doctors must be informed about the complete medications of the patient.
