Hello XXXXXXX

Thanks for your query.

Crocin is pharmacologically Paracetamol.
And 5 ml of Crocin contains 120 mg of Paracetamol.

The correct dose of paracetamol for a child does not depend on his age, but on his weight.
The usual dose is 15 mg per kilogram of body weight.
Since your son is around 8kgs, administration of 5 ml of Crocin will be required.

Both Imol & Crocin contain medications that are analgesic & antipyretic.
Hence can provide symptomatic relief from fever.
But, unless the underlying cause of the fever is treated, it may keep on recurring.

So, it will be better to consult a Pediatrician to find out the exact cause of the symptoms in your child such that appropriate management steps could be taken.

Wishing him a good health & speedy recovery.

Please let me know if I need to clarify further.

Thanks & take care.

Hello XXXXXXX

Thanks for your follow up query.

Imol contains Ibuprofen & Paracetamol which act as analgesic & anti pyretic.
So, it will only control the fever.

For symptomatic management of cold & cough, antihistamine & anti-tussive medications have to be taken.
And if the cold & cough is bacterial in origin, then a complete therapy with antibiotics will also be needed.

But these medications should be taken only under the guidance of a Pediatrician to avoid any unwanted side effects.

All medications will have some or the other side effects.
However, the medications for pediatric use are prepared in such a way that the side effects are either minimal or well tolerated.

Meanwhile, make sure that your son is taking proper nutrition, maintaining adequate hydration & well protected from cold.

Wishing him a good health & speedy recovery.

Regards,
Dr. Polash Sannigrahi
