Frequently asked questions
What if I accidentally give my child too much Decold Syrup? What are the potential side effects?
Giving an excessive dose of Decold Syrup can potentially lead to serious adverse effects like seizures, rapid heart rate, depression, cognitive impairment, and difficulty concentrating. Always adhere to the prescribed dosage as outlined on the package. When measuring the medication, always use the calibrated cup provided by the manufacturer. Avoid using a kitchen teaspoon because it may not deliver the accurate dosage.
How should I store Decold Syrup for optimal shelf-life?

Can I combine two different medications for my child's cough and fever? What should I consider before administering multiple medications?
It is not advisable to administer more than one cough or cold medication at a time unless specifically advised by the pediatrician.

Always consult your child's doctor for guidance on medications before administration.

Ensure you review the medication label before use in your child. Always follow the dosage instructions precisely.
Does Decold Syrup cause drowsiness in children?
Decold Syrup may induce mild drowsiness, making your child feel sleepy. This should be considered when administering the medicine.
