Always consult your child's doctor at every step.

My child is restless at night and unable to sleep properly. Can I give them Kidcet Syrup?

Can I combine Kidcet Syrup with Fexofenadine?

Do not take two antihistamines together unless prescribed by your doctor.
For how long should I continue using Kidcet Syrup?
The duration of medication depends on the condition being treated. If you're taking it for an insect bite, use it for a day or two.
