Use of over-the-counter analgesics in Norwegian children – a national cross-sectional study
<b>Our findings suggest a potential misuse of OTC analgesics early in life and raise concerns about potential overuse and unhealthy coping strategies. Enhancing children's and parents' understanding of pain and stress management may improve health behaviours and mitigate potential adverse effects from OTC analgesic use.</b>
