San Antonio is not immune to the shortages of children's Tylenol and Motrin affecting the rest of the U.S. Parents navigating waves of respiratory viruses are being met with empty shelves across the city.
December sales data are not yet available.Yesterday afternoon, shelves at a CVS, Walgreens and H-E-B stores near downtown were wiped clear of name brand and generic pain relief medication for children.
H-E-B tells Axios San Antonio in a statement that stores are "working hard" to provide the items and are restocking weekly.Rachel Pearson, a local pediatrician with UT Health San Antonio, tells Axios that doctors and their patients are also facing a shortage of the antibiotic medication amoxicillin, commonly used to treat strep throat and pneumonia.
She warns parents of the overdose dangers tied to cutting down adult doses of medication to give to children. "Don't take the risk of trying to give them an adult dose or figure out a dose, especially for a small kid. It's just not safe," she said. Pearson says at-home remedies like cold baths, warm blankets and plenty of fluids can help parents navigate less-serious discomfort.
