Introduction
Day Syrup is commonly used to treat pain and fever in children. It is effective for conditions such as headache, toothache, body ache, fever, and common cold. The syrup works by blocking certain chemical messengers in the brain that signal pain and fever. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and consult a doctor if the symptoms persist. Overdosing or combining it with other medications containing paracetamol can lead to serious side effects.

Give Day Syrup to your child with food or milk to prevent an upset stomach. Do not exceed four doses in 24 hours and wait up to 6 hours between doses.
How it works
Day Syrup possesses analgesic (pain-reliever) and antipyretic (lowers body temperature) properties. It provides relief by blocking certain chemical messengers and pathways in the brain that send signals about pain and fever.
Quick Tips

Is there any special diet my child needs to follow while taking this medicine?
Unless directed by your doctor, your child should maintain a normal balanced diet during treatment. It is important not to withhold nutrients as it can increase the risk of medication toxicity.

Can I give Day Syrup on a routine basis when my child is taking a vaccine?
