Is It Safe To Give Paracetamol Along With Wikoryl Syrup For Cold And Cough?

My 5 years old daughter has cold and cough last 1 day and we consulted doctor he prescribed for wikoryl syrup 3.5ml dosage 3 times a day and also told if fever rises [till 100] then you can also give paracetamol 7ml dosage. My question is can we give paracetamol dosage over wikoryl syrup as both includes paracetamol ?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello and welcome.

Yes you can, don't worry about this. Paracetamol is quite mild and should not cause any issues. Although if your daughter has a fever, there must be an infection and so without antibiotic coverage she may take more time to recover. But in children it is best to avoid antibiotics unless really required.

Best wishes.
