ANS: B
Combination medications may provide ingredients that are not needed or may provide ingredients that are either excessive or subtherapeutic. It is best to use single-agent drugs to treat individual symptoms. The efficacy of vitamin C and zinc for treating colds in children has not been established. Fever may accompany viral respiratory infections and not necessarily bacterial infections that need an antibiotic.
