Health Queries

My child has had a cold and cough with a lot of mucus and a runny nose for three days. I have given Tixylix Cough Syrup and Solvin Cold AF Syrup, but there has been no relief. Can I give Solvin Cold Tablet?

Solvin Cold Tablet (Paracetamol, Phenylephrine, and Chlorpheniramine) is not recommended for children under 4 years, and giving it alongside Solvin Cold AF Syrup (Chlorpheniramine and Phenylephrine) may cause an overdose. It is best to stop these medicines and consult your paediatrician for safe treatment. Meanwhile, keep your child comfortable with plenty of fluids, rest, and gentle care.
