For a cough with no mucus, a cough suppressant is generally a better option. However, if your child has a wet cough, Dialex PC Liquid may be considered as it aims to expel the mucus from the airway tract, thereby relieving throat irritation and congestion. It's always best to consult with your child's doctor for personalized advice before giving any medication.

An overdose or prolonged intake of Dialex PC Liquid may lead to serious side effects such as seizures, rapid heart rate, and excessive salivation. It is essential to give this medicine strictly according to the prescribed dose, time, and manner, and not to stop the medication abruptly even if your child starts feeling better, as sudden withdrawal can worsen their condition.
Is it safe for my child to take two cough medicines together?
Unless advised by your child's doctor, do not give them more than one cough or cold medicine at a time. In cases of uncertainty, always consult with your child's doctor before administering any medications.
Can I give my adult cough medicine to my child?
