Should Your Child Stay Home from School Today? Studies Show Parents May Play It Too Safe

The reduction of symptoms with adherence to a medication regimen can greatly decrease infectious spread. Studies show that the addition of flavoring, such as FLAVORx, to medicine can increase adherence in children to over 90%.
