Adhere to the prescribed dose, time, and way while giving Mefture P Syrup to your child. Give it orally, preferably at a fixed time. It can be given before or after food, but giving it after food helps prevent the chance of developing an upset stomach.

Avoid giving more than the recommended dose for fast relief as that may cause unwanted effects in your child.

Maintain a log of your child's temperature. If you do not see any improvement, contact your child's doctor for advice. Keep a track of the dose and the frequency in which you have given this medicine to your child. This will help prevent overdosing. Practice self-care tips like giving plenty of fluids to your child, giving your child a balanced diet, and encouraging your child to have optimum sleep since sick children get tired soon and getting plenty of rest helps them recover faster.
