What Is The Dosage Of Wikoryl Drops And Tixylix Syrup For Running Nose?
Brief Answer:
You can give these but better options are available.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
Wikoryl Drops contain Paracetamol, Chlorpheniramine Maleate and Phenylephrine. Among these, paracetamol reduced fever if any. Unless the child has fever, I would suggest a different medicine. Chorpheniramine is an antiallergic that needs to be given to your child. But still if you want to give Wikoryl, you can give it 1.5 ml twice daily for 3-5 days.
Tixylix is a cough suppressant and contains foscodeine. Although it can be given along Wikoryl, I would suggest giving some expectorant instead.
I would rather suggest giving Relent syrup 2.5 ml twice daily. It contains both an antiallergic and an expectorant.
Hope that helps.
