Introduction
Ercold Oral Suspension is a medication used primarily in children to alleviate symptoms associated with the common cold. These symptoms include sore throat, runny nose, cough, sneezing, watery eyes, body ache, and fever. The medicine combines three active ingredients: Chlorpheniramine, Paracetamol, and Phenylephrine. Chlorpheniramine is an antiallergic that helps relieve allergy symptoms such as runny nose, watery eyes, and sneezing. Paracetamol acts as an analgesic and antipyretic, reducing pain and fever by blocking certain chemical messengers in the brain. Phenylephrine is a nasal decongestant that narrows small blood vessels, providing relief from nasal congestion. While generally safe, it is important to monitor for any adverse reactions and consult a healthcare provider if any severe side effects occur.
