Mg Cold Syrup is a combination of three medicines: Chlorpheniramine, paracetamol, and phenylephrine which relieves common cold symptoms. Chlorpheniramine is an antiallergic that relieves 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 nasal decongestant that narrows the small blood vessels providing relief from congestion or stuffiness in the nose.

Ensure your child takes extra care when taking part in physical activities. Never combine Mg Cold Syrup with other cold and flu medicines as that may lead to side effects. Stop Mg Cold 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 to avoid allergy, Give your child plenty of fluids as it helps to thin and to loosen the mucus in the lungs, Restrain your child from having dairy products, coffee, and foods that are spicy and fried. All these can trigger coughing, Make your child gargle with warm saltwater, Ensure your child takes enough rest.
