Can I change the dose of Ladex-P Syrup for my child by myself according to the severity of illness?
No, it is not recommended to alter the dose without consulting a doctor. While an unnecessary increase in dose may lead to toxicity, a sudden lowering of the dosage may cause recurrence of symptoms. Consult your child's doctor if you feel a change in dose may be needed.

When will my child feel better?
The doctor may advise continuous use of Ladex-P Syrup for several days to weeks, depending on the severity of illness. You'll likely notice pain and fever reduction, and your child will start feeling better gradually as the course progresses. However, if your child continues to feel unwell even after completing the full course, consult your child’s doctor immediately.
