✅ 1. Wikoryl AF Syrup: • Contents: Chlorpheniramine + Phenylephrine • Use: Runny nose, sneezing, nasal congestion • Effect: Good for blocked nose and watery discharge • Drowsiness: May cause mild sleepiness (due to chlorpheniramine) ✅ 2. Zyrcold Syrup: • Contents: Cetirizine + Phenylephrine • Use: Allergic cold, runny nose, nasal stuffiness • Effect: Works well for allergic rhinitis or seasonal cold • Drowsiness: Less sedating than Wikoryl
Next Steps
If your daughter has only cold (runny nose or sneezing) and you want a non-sedating option, go with Zyrcold. If there is nasal congestion or you want nighttime relief, you can give Wikoryl AF at night and Zyrcold in the morning (after confirming with your doctor).

If your child is having a seasonal cough-like allergic rhinitis then it's better to give zrycold - 5 ml twice a day If he's having flu-like symptoms then give Wikoryl-AF 5 ml twice a day
Next Steps
Keep a close watch for fever and respiratory symptoms

Both will work depending upon the type of cough. Allergic cough go for zrycold while cough associated with cold symptoms go for wikoryl af. Better to consult a doctor with specific symptoms rather than self prescribing.

Different medications have different actions. Without full history and examination nothing should be prescribed.
