Cheston Plus Expectorant Green Apple Sugar Free


Product introduction

Cheston Plus Expectorant Green Apple Sugar Free effectively treats wet cough (cough with mucus) in children. It helps in thinning the mucus by increasing its water content. This relieves throat irritation and clears congestion, enabling easy breathing in your child.

Give Cheston Plus Expectorant Green Apple Sugar Free to your child orally, with or without food. Give it with food to reduce the chances of stomach upset. You may be required to give this medicine to your child for a few days to weeks, depending upon your child’s clinical condition and severity of the illness. Do not stop the medication abruptly by yourself, even if your child starts to feel better. Continue the medicine until the prescribed course is complete. Do not give more than the prescribed dose for fast relief as it may cause unwanted effects and worsen your child’s condition.

If your child vomits soon after taking Cheston Plus Expectorant Green Apple Sugar Free, help the child calm down and repeat the same dose. Skip the dose if it is time for the next dose. Do not overdose to catch up for the missed one. Do not give this medicine to your child for the long term without consulting your child’s doctor. Check the medicine label thoroughly and never combine this medicine with other cold and flu medicines as that may lead to side effects.

Cheston Plus Expectorant Green Apple Sugar Free may have some common and temporary side effects. These may include excessive salivation, fatigue, headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach discomfort, irregular heartbeat, rash, tremors, and numbness or tingling sensation in the hands or feet. In case of worrisome episodes, call your child’s doctor right away.

Narrate your child’s complete medical history, including any previous episode of respiratory illness, allergy, heart problems, blood disorders, birth defects, airway obstruction, lung anomaly, sinus issues, liver impairment, and kidney malfunction. This information is critical for dose alterations and for planning your child’s overall treatment.

How Cheston Plus Syrup works
