How it works
Servil Baby Syrup contains two active medicines: ambroxol and salbutamol. Together these medicines relieve wet cough and bronchospasm. Ambroxol is a mucolytic that thins and loosens mucus (phlegm) making it easier to cough out. On the other hand Salbutamol is a bronchodilator. It works by relaxing the muscles in the airways and widens the airways. Together they make breathing easier.
Quick Tips
Give plenty of fluids as it helps to loosen and expel the mucus. Avoid giving dairy foods, caffeinated products, and spicy and fried food to your child as all these may irritate the airways and trigger coughing. A teaspoon of honey may also help to ease out a cough reflex. Ask your child to gargle with warm salt water as it eases the expelling of mucus. Ensure your child takes enough rest.
Frequently asked questions
My child is having a cough with no mucus. Can I give Servil Baby Syrup?
Servil Baby Syrup is intended for treating wet coughs, helping clear mucus from the airways and relieving throat irritation, congestion, and providing soothing effects. For dry coughs, cough suppressants are more appropriate. Consult your child's doctor before administering any medication to ensure proper dosage and selection.
What should I do in case my child misses his/her dose of Servil Baby Syrup?
If your child's doctor has prescribed regular Servil Baby Syrup doses, administer the missed dose as soon as possible. Maintain a record of your child's dosage for accurate monitoring and prevention of missing doses. If it's close to the next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and resume the normal dosing routine. Do not give two doses simultaneously. Remember that Servil Baby Syrup is often used on an 'as needed' basis. Always consult your child's doctor regarding appropriate dosage.
What are the serious side effects of Servil Baby Syrup?
Servil Baby Syrup, a combination medication, contains salbutamol which can lead to electrolyte imbalance. This could result in signs of low potassium levels such as muscle pain or weakness, muscle cramps, or an abnormal heartbeat in your child. If you notice these symptoms, seek immediate medical attention from your child's doctor.
When should I call my child’s doctor right away?
Call the doctor immediately if your child's prescribed dose is ineffective or their symptoms worsen. If you suspect an unnecessary increase in dosage frequency, do not self-medicate and contact your child's doctor for guidance as soon as possible.
Can I give my cough medicine to my child?
