Can I Give Sinarest For My 6month Old Baby Having Running Nose ?
Question: Hello Sir.. My 6month Old baby is having running nose n watery eyes.. Please suggest.. Can I give sinarest af n how much quantity
Brief Answer:
Do not use Sinarest - it can cause high heart rate
Detailed Answer:
Hi...I SUGGEST YOU NOT TO USE SINAREST AS THERE IS A RISK OF HIGH HEART RATE AND SUPRA VENTRICULAR TACHYCARDIA.
Cough and cold are viral 95% of the times in children. For cold you can use anti-allergics like cetirizine and for nose block, saline nasal decongestants will do.
Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15mg/kg/dose (max ceiling dose 500mg), that too only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol.
For cold you can use Cetrizine at 0.25mg/kg/doses.
For nasal block, plain saline nasal drops will do, every to relive nasal congestion.
