livescience.com — Approximately one in 10 U.S. children uses one or more cough and cold medications during a given week, according to new research from Boston University. While cough and cold medications for children are widely marketed in the United States, how frequently they are used had not been scientifically studied.

Ritalin, while a powerful stimulant, is not an amphetamine. Adderall is the brand-name you're looking for; it's actually an amphetamine.Oh, and your link is broken.If you're gonna go trolling, at least do it right.

A new poll needs to be done now seeing as all pediatric cough and cold products (for anyone under 6 years old) have been removed from the market in the US.

No bacteria are not evolving to become immune. The fact is when you don't finish out an antibiotic, then the bacteria still in your system will be that which is most resilitant to the medicine you took (it held out the longest). As you spread that bacteria, it becomes more dominate. Also, playing in dirt is not going to keep kids healthy nearly as much as washing their hands often and not letting other kids cough or sneeze on them.This is not a sign of over-dependance on medications. This is a sign kids get sick a lot, which they always have. Kids in daycare and school are sicker than kids who are not. As the rates of daycare for infants and toddlers rise, so will the cases of everyday illnesses like colds and other common infections.
