My child has a cough and fever. Can I give him two medicines together?
Do not administer more than one cough or cold medicine at a time unless directed by a doctor. This is because both medications may contain the same active ingredients, which could lead to an overdose and potentially serious complications in your child. It's always best to consult your child's doctor before administering any medication.
Can I give my cough medicine to my child?
Never administer medications that are intended for adults to children. Children should only use medications specifically formulated for them, as these may cause unintended side effects. Always check the label and ensure you're using the correct dose before administering the medication. If symptoms persist or do not improve even after treatment, it is best to consult your child's doctor.
