Your child’s medicine at a glance

Give Childryl Syrup to your child orally, either before or after food but prefer giving it at a fixed time. The doctor will prescribe the dose based upon the child’s body weight, age, and clinical condition. Usually, Childryl Syrup is prescribed to be given up to 3 times a day. Do not continue the course for more than 4 to 5 days unless advised otherwise. Stick to the dose, time, and way as prescribed by the doctor.

If your child vomits within 30 minutes of the intake, help the child calm down and repeat the same dose. However, skip the dose if it is already the time for the next dose. Make sure not to double up the dose as overdose can cause side effects. Also, do not give Childryl Syrup with any other cough or cold medicine as that may also lead to increased side effects.

Childryl Syrup can cause some minor and temporary side effects such as nausea, vomiting, constipation, drowsiness, dizziness, skin rash, excitation, or confusion. Usually, these episodes subside on their own. However, if worrisome, do seek medical assistance.

Never self-medicate your child. Always consult your child’s doctor before giving any medicine to your child. Let the doctor know about your child’s complete medical history as it is significant in the formulation of your child’s care plan.

How can I give Childryl Syrup to my child?

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Measure it with a measuring cup and take it by mouth. Shake well before use. Childryl Syrup may be taken with or without food.

How Childryl Syrup works

Childryl Syrup is a combination of two medicines: Promethazine and Pholcodine, which together relieve dry cough. Promethazine is an antiallergic. It blocks the action of a chemical messenger (histamine) which is responsible to trigger cough due to allergy. Pholcodine is a cough suppressant. It suppresses cough by reducing the activity of the cough center in the brain.

Quick tips

Do not give Childryl Syrup to children below the age of 6 years.
Childryl Syrup causes mild sedation as a side effect. Never give this medicine to your child to induce sleep in your child as it can harm.
Childryl Syrup has addictive properties. Make sure to give the medicine as prescribed.
Do not share your child’s medicine with other children even if they have a similar illness.
Childryl Syrup is not effective in treating any type of cough triggered due to underlying breathing illness such as asthma. Consult your child’s doctor before giving Childryl Syrup to your child.
Some home care tips:
1. Ask your child to gargle with warm saline water.
2. Give honey and ginger to your child as it helps soothe an itchy throat.
3. Avoid giving fried or spicy food to your child because these trigger coughing and can cause throat irritation.
