Introduction
Swakam Cold Oral Drops is a medication used primarily in children to alleviate symptoms associated with the common cold. These symptoms include sore throat, runny nose, cough, sneezing, watery eyes, body ache, and fever. The medication combines three active ingredients: Chlorpheniramine, Paracetamol, and Phenylephrine. Chlorpheniramine is an antiallergic that helps relieve allergy symptoms such as runny nose, watery eyes, and sneezing. Paracetamol acts as an analgesic and antipyretic, reducing pain and fever by blocking certain chemical messengers in the brain. Phenylephrine is a nasal decongestant that narrows small blood vessels, providing relief from nasal congestion. While generally safe, it is essential to monitor for any adverse reactions and consult a healthcare provider if any severe side effects occur.
Directions for Use
Administer the prescribed dosage of Swakam Cold Oral Drops to your child as directed by the healthcare provider. Ensure the child takes the medication with plenty of fluids and follows any additional care instructions provided by the doctor.

Quick Tips

Stop Swakam Cold Oral Drops and immediately report to the doctor if your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulties. Clean and disinfect surfaces after sneezing and coughing to avoid allergy. Give your child plenty of fluids as it helps to thin and loosen the mucus in the lungs.

Frequently asked questions
What if I accidentally give too much Swakam Cold Oral Drops? What are the potential risks?
Prolonged or excess intake of Swakam Cold Oral Drops can lead to serious side effects in children, including seizures, rapid heart rate, depression, cognitive difficulties, and impaired concentration. Always stick to the prescribed dose, using the calibrated cup provided by the manufacturer. Do not use a kitchen teaspoon as it will not provide an accurate estimate for dosage.
How should Swakam Cold Oral Drops be stored?
Swakam Cold Oral Drops should be stored at room temperature in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and heat. It's essential to keep all medications out of reach and sight of children to prevent accidental ingestion.
Can I give my child two cough medicines at the same time?
Never give your child more than one medication for cough or cold at a time unless specifically advised by their doctor. This is because multiple medications with similar ingredients can lead to an overdose, potentially causing serious complications in children. Always consult your child's doctor before giving any medicine.
Can I give my child the same cough medication that's used for adults? What are some risks of doing so?
Never give your child cough or cold medications intended for adults. Children require specific formulations tailored to their age and development, as these can cause unwanted side effects. Always carefully review the medicine label before administering it to your child. Only administer the prescribed dose according to the instructions.
Does Swakam Cold Oral Drops make children drowsy?
Swakam Cold Oral Drops may induce mild drowsiness in some children, and should not be used to induce sleep. It's best to consult a doctor if your child’s symptoms are persistent or fail to improve after treatment.
