How it works
Sumo Cold Pcf Syrup is a combination of three medicines: Chlorpheniramine, paracetamol, and phenylephrine. 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) that 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.
Quick Tips
Sumo Cold Pcf Syrup may make your child feel sleepy. Ensure your child takes extra care when taking part in physical activities. Never combine Sumo Cold Pcf Syrup with other cold and flu medicines as that may lead to side effects. Stop Sumo Cold Pcf 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, give your child plenty of fluids, restrain your child from having dairy products, coffee, and foods that are spicy and fried, make your child gargle with warm saltwater, and ensure your child takes enough rest.

What if I give too much Sumo Cold Pcf Syrup by mistake?
Exceeding the recommended dosage of Sumo Cold Pcf Syrup can lead to serious side effects such as seizures, rapid heart rate, depression, cognitive impairments, and difficulty concentrating. Adhere strictly to the prescribed dose. To accurately measure the required quantity, utilize the calibrated cup provided with the medicine by its manufacturer.

How can I store Sumo Cold Pcf Syrup?

My child has a cough and fever. Can I give him two medicines together?
Do not administer multiple medications, including those for cough or cold, unless explicitly advised by the doctor. This practice can result in an overdose, potentially leading to serious adverse effects. Always seek professional medical advice before administering any medicine to your child.
Can I give my child's cough medicine?
It is crucial to use medicines specifically formulated for children and never administer medication meant for adults to them, as this could cause undesirable side effects. Always check the label of the medicine thoroughly before administering it to your child. Be sure to use the prescribed dosage outlined on the product's label.
Can Sumo Cold Pcf Syrup make my child sleepy?
Sumo Cold Pcf Syrup may cause mild drowsiness in some children, potentially making them feel sleepy. However, it is never recommended to use this syrup to induce sleep.
