2017-12-09 18:44:03
I’ve 8 months old daughter, since last few days she is having cold and cough. Today we visited our doctor, he prescribed Alex junior for my baby, but Medicine store mistakenly gave me Alex. After giving two dose my baby started feeling uncomfortable, then when we checked we found out that instead of giving Alex junior from Medicine store guy gave me Alex which is for senior people. My baby is sleeping now. Do we need to concern about this?

Adult dosage of cough syrups usually will cause initial reactions such as tremors and hyperactivity. Usually no severe reactions occur. If your baby is fine now, nothing much needs to be done
Next Steps
Consult nearby Paediatrician for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
