About Polaramine Paediatric Syrup

Polaramine Paediatric Syrup belongs to the class of medication called antihistamines, primarily used to treat symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis (hayfever), such as itchy or runny nose, sneezing, and itchy or burning eyes. Polaramine Paediatric Syrup may also relieve symptoms associated with chronic urticarial (hives). These symptoms include itching, redness and lumps on the skin. An allergy occurs when foreign elements known as allergens attack and invade our body, thereby causing the release of histamine (a chemical messenger) that causes swelling, inflammation, redness, itchiness, watery nose, throat, and eyes.

Polaramine Paediatric Syrup contains dexchlorpheniramine, which works by inhibiting the action of histamine, a substance that causes allergic reactions. It works directly on the brain to alleviate allergy symptoms by preventing histamine release. It aids in the relief of allergy symptoms such as sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, and congestion or stiffness.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Focus on a balanced diet: Aim for a whole-food diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. These foods provide essential nutrients that can support your child's immune system.
  • Limit processed foods: Processed foods are often high in unhealthy fats, sugar, and salt, which can contribute to inflammation. Reducing these foods might indirectly help with allergies.
  • Consider probiotics: Probiotic yoghurt, kimchi, or other probiotic foods might be helpful. Probiotics are live bacteria contributing to a healthy gut microbiome, potentially linked to a lower allergy risk.
  • Minimize allergen exposure: Track triggers like pollen and dust mites and take steps to reduce contact. This might involve using air filters, washing bedding often, and limiting pet interaction in certain areas.
  • Promote a healthy environment: Avoid secondhand smoke, encourage good hygiene habits, and consider early pet exposure (with paediatrician guidance).
  • Support your child's immune system: Ensure adequate Vitamin D and a regular sleep schedule to promote overall health and potentially reduce allergy risk.
