About Flucol Syrup
Flucol Syrup belongs to a class of medication called 'cough and cold medications' primarily used to treat the common cold, like sneezing, watery eyes, or itchy/watery nose and throat in children. The common cold is a respiratory illness affecting the nose and throat, mostly caused by viruses known as 'rhinovirus.' The virus attacks the body through the mouth, nose, or eyes and spreads quickly through droplets in the air when a person who is sick sneezes, coughs, or talks.
Flucol Syrup is a combination of four different medicines: Chlorpheniramine (anti-histamine), Phenylephrine (a decongestant), Paracetamol (a mild analgesic and antipyretic), and Sodium Citrate (a mucolytic). Chlorpheniramine belongs to the class of antihistamines (anti-allergic drugs) that work by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. Phenylephrine helps in shrinking the blood vessels in the nasal passage, thereby reducing a stuffy nose. Paracetamol is an analgesic (relieves pain) and antipyretic (reduces fever) that works by inhibiting the production of certain chemical messengers in the brain known as 'prostaglandins', responsible for pain and fever. Sodium citrate is a mucolytic agent; it helps to loosen mucus, making it easier to cough out.
Give Flucol Syrup to the child as prescribed. Your doctor will recommend how often you to give Flucol Syrup based on the child’s medical condition. The common side effects of Flucol Syrup that may occur in some children are drowsiness, sleepiness, nausea, vomiting, and headache. If any of these effects persist in your child, consult your doctor for relief. In some cases, Flucol Syrup may cause a severe allergic skin reaction, probably due to paracetamol, which may disappear in some time.
Talk to your doctor if your child is allergic to any of Flucol Syrup ingredients and about any existing medical conditions and pre-existing medical conditions before giving Flucol Syrup to your child; follow as your doctor's instructions accordingly. Increase the intake of fluids to keep the throat hydrated. Stop using Flucol Syrup immediately and report to the doctor if your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulties. Make your child gargle with warm saltwater for relief.

How Flucol Syrup Works
Storage
- Inform Your Doctor: Notify your doctor immediately about your diarrhoea symptoms. This allows them to adjust your medication or provide guidance on managing side effects.
- Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids to replace lost water and electrolytes. Choose water, clear broth, and electrolyte-rich drinks. Avoid carbonated or caffeinated beverages to effectively rehydrate your body.
- Follow a Bland Diet: Eat easy-to-digest foods to help firm up your stool and settle your stomach. Try incorporating bananas, rice, applesauce, toast, plain crackers, and boiled vegetables into your diet.
- Avoid Trigger Foods: Steer clear of foods that can worsen diarrhoea, such as spicy, fatty, or greasy foods, high-fibre foods, and dairy products (especially if you're lactose intolerant).
- Practice Good Hygiene: Maintain good hygiene to prevent the spread of infection. To stay healthy, wash your hands frequently, clean and disinfect surfaces regularly, and avoid exchanging personal belongings with others.
- Take Anti-Diarrheal Medications: If your doctor advises, anti-diarrheal medications such as loperamide might help manage diarrhoea symptoms. Always follow your doctor's directions.
