Hi
My daughter is 6Y 1,M old weight 20.5kg.
She is having severe running nose, sneezing and cough since last 2 days.
Doctor has prescribed chericof syrup
(Phenylephrine 5mg/5ml, Chlorpheniramine Maleate 2mg/5ml and Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide 10mg/5ml)
He has asked to give 5ml thrice a day for above combination.
Is it safe to give and is the dosage correct?
