For a mild cold with fever, plain paracetamol is the safest option for a 5-year-old child, and combination medicines, such as Meftagesic-P syrup (Mefenamic acid and Paracetamol), are usually not needed. Solvin Cold Syrup (Paracetamol, Phenylephrine, and Chlorpheniramine) should be used in children only if prescribed by a doctor. Please consult your doctor, who will decide the correct dose and duration based on your child?s condition.

My son is very lean and eats very little food. He prefers sour foods and often refuses to eat, sometimes saying he feels like vomiting. He also gets frequent fever, cold, and cough. What should I do to improve his appetite and immunity?

Low appetite with frequent illness can be due to poor nutrition or reduced immunity. Offer small, frequent meals with a variety of soft and tasty foods, and avoid forcing him to eat. Limit sour foods if they are causing discomfort and focus on a balanced diet with fruits, vegetables and protein. Ensure proper sleep and hygiene to support immunity. Consult your doctor to check for any deficiencies or underlying causes and to guide proper care.
