Introduction
Domicold Syrup is a combination of three medicines: Cetirizine, Paracetamol, and Phenylephrine. It is commonly prescribed in children to relieve symptoms such as runny nose, cough, sneezing, watery eyes, sore throat, body ache, and fever. These symptoms are usually associated with common cold, hay fever (allergic rhinitis), and other respiratory tract conditions.
Directions for Use
Consult your child's doctor before giving Domicold Syrup. Do not give it to children less than 2 years of age. Ensure your child takes extra care when taking part in physical activities.
How it works
Domicold Syrup is a combination of three medicines: Cetirizine, Paracetamol, and Phenylephrine. Cetirizine is an antiallergic that blocks histamine (a chemical messenger) to relieve allergy symptoms like runny nose, watery eyes, and sneezing. Paracetamol is an analgesic (pain reliever) and antipyretic (fever reducer). It blocks the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain that are responsible for pain and fever. Phenylephrine is a decongestant that narrows the small blood vessels providing relief from congestion or stuffiness in the nose.
Quick Tips
Do not give Domicold Syrup if your child is less than 2 years of age. Consult your child’s doctor before giving such medicines. Domicold Syrup may make your child feel sleepy. Ensure your child takes extra care when taking part in physical activities. Never combine Domicold Syrup with other cold and flu medicines as that may lead to side effects. Stop Domicold Syrup and immediately report to the doctor if your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulties. Practice self-care tips: clean and disinfect surfaces after sneezing and coughing, give your child plenty of fluids, restrain your child from having caffeinated products and foods that are spicy and fried, make your child gargle with warm saltwater, and ensure your child takes enough rest.

Frequently asked questions
What should parents do if infants and children under 2 years of age experience cough and cold symptoms?
A cold is a common respiratory illness that usually resolves on its own within a week. If you're concerned about your child's comfort, consult with your pediatrician for guidance on managing symptoms. If your child's symptoms persist or worsen, contact your doctor. A persistent cough may indicate a more serious condition, such as bronchitis or asthma, which requires medical attention.
My child has taken an excessive amount of Domicold Syrup by mistake. What should I do?
If your child has ingested an excessive amount of Domicold Syrup, seek immediate medical attention. Excessive intake can lead to serious side effects, including seizures, psychiatric symptoms, urinary retention, and other complications. Contact your child's doctor or a poison control center for guidance.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Domicold Syrup?
It's essential to inform your child's doctor about any other medications your child is taking before starting Domicold Syrup. Additionally, consult with your child's doctor before giving any other medicines to your child, as Domicold Syrup may interact with other substances.
