Hi,
The list you gave are mostly for fever, body ache.
If require use one medicine only.
If given in proper dose for 3-4 days as and when required, have no side effect.
These medicines are, Imol, Calpol, Ibugesic plus, Combiflam, Febrex plus etc.
Antibiotic Ampoxin should be given for infection but after consulting your doctor.
Syrup Sinerstat is for cold and can be given having less side effects.
Avoid syrup Phensydil to children unless advised by your doctor.
Cyclopam is for pain in abdomen and can be given, it is safe.
Metrogyl-F is for dirrhroea and dysentery and can be given for 3-5 days.
But if problem persisted, avoid self medication and consult your doctor.
Ok and bye.
