How it works
Swacold 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.
Quick Tips
Ensure your child takes extra care when taking part in physical activities. Never combine Swacold Syrup with other cold and flu medicines as that may lead to side effects. Stop Swacold 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, 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.

Frequently asked questions
What happens if I accidentally give my child too much Swacold Syrup?
Giving too much Swacold Syrup can lead to serious side effects, including seizures, rapid heartbeat, depression, cognitive defects, and difficulty concentrating. To avoid this, always follow the prescribed dose, and use the calibrated cup provided by the manufacturer. Do not use a kitchen teaspoon as it may not provide the correct measurement.
How should I store Swacold Syrup?
Swacold Syrup should be stored at room temperature in a dry place, away from direct heat and light. It's also essential to keep all medications out of children's reach and sight to prevent accidental intake.
Can I give my child two different cough or cold medicines at the same time?
No, do not give your child more than one cough or cold medicine at a time unless advised by their doctor. This is because both medications may contain similar ingredients, which can lead to an overdose and potentially serious consequences. Always consult with your child's doctor before administering any medication.
Can I give my adult cough medicine to my child?
No, it's never recommended to give a child a medication intended for adults. Children should only receive medications specifically formulated for them, as using adult medications can lead to unwanted side effects. Always check the label of the medication before giving it to your child, and follow the prescribed dosage instructions.
Can Swacold Syrup cause my child to feel sleepy?
Yes, Swacold Syrup may cause mild drowsiness in children. However, do not use this medicine to induce sleep as it could mask underlying sleep disorders such as insomnia. Always consult with your child's doctor before giving them this medication.
