Young children are more sensitive to its active ingredients, and there is a higher risk of side effects such as drowsiness, restlessness, or breathing difficulties. Always consult a doctor before use to ensure it is appropriate and to determine the correct dose based on the child’s age, weight, and condition. Do not give this medication on your own; seek medical advice for proper diagnosis, treatment, and safe dosing.
