Try giving the medicines at the same time each day to help you remember. Your child may feel sleepy or dizzy after each dose of Alersif 30mg Oral Suspension. If this happens, make your child sit or lie down and ask them to be careful while performing tasks that require mental focus. Avoid giving Alersif 30mg Oral Suspension with fatty meals and fruit juice as both can reduce the absorption of the medicine.

Practice self-care tips: Abstain your child from coming in contact with allergens. Maintain a neat and clean ambiance around your child. Encourage your child to wear a face mask and avoid dusty places. Use of air conditioners instead of opening windows during the pollen season.
