Hi, My kid is 3.5 year old. she is having cold, running nose since 3 days. Day 1 - night she had high temperature, i gave Crocin syrup twice (night and morning). day 2- there were no temparature but running nose was there. I gave T-Minic syrup in evening. In night again, she had little temparature. Day 3 - morning i gave T-minic syrup. Shall I give both (T-Minic and Crycin) syrup to get out of running nose and temperature. What should be dosage and course for the same ??
I am glad that you put up your query at Chat Doctor. I am sorry that your child is suffering from a respiratory tract infection which is a more technical way of saying common cold. The infection is indicated by the presence of fever which needs to be controlled by methods like cold sponging or medicines like paracetamol which are sold in brand names like Cronin, Cal pol, Pyrites etc. which is given at 15 mg/kg/dose. Such an infection generally has an allergic component associated along with, for which anti-allergics and cough syrups are given. Dominic contains Phenylephrine which is given at 0.2 mg/kg/dose 3 or 4 times a day. The amount in ml would depend upon the formulation of the syrup (medicine content in mg/ml). For giving medicines to a child, appropriate dosage is important as is the understanding of the actual condition. I strongly insist that you consult your pediatrician before using it. Your doctor would also be able to decide which medicines are to be given and whether antibiotics are to be prescribed along with.
