Your child’s medicine at a glance

Give Criticold Kid Syrup to your child by mouth with or without food. If your child develops an upset stomach, consider giving it with food. Always remember that the dosing schedule provided by your child’s doctor depends on the type of symptoms your child has, so make sure to follow the prescribed dose, time, and way strictly.

Give Criticold Kid Syrup at a fixed time each day so that it gradually makes a place in your child’s daily routine, which will help you to remember. If your child vomits within 30 minutes of taking this medicine give the same dose again. However, never repeat the dose if it's already time for the next dose. Your child may start to feel better within a week of regular dosing. However, you must continue giving the medicine to your child to finish the complete prescribed course as stopping it abruptly may worsen your child’s condition.

Some of the minor and temporary side effects that your child may experience while taking this medicine include nausea,  vomiting, diarrhea, dry mouth, headache, and dizziness. Usually, these episodes subside once your child’s body adapts to the medicine. In case these side effects persist or become bothersome for your child, consult your child’s doctor without any delay.

Narrate your child’s complete medical history to your child’s doctor, including any ongoing medicine regime or history of any allergy, heart problem, blood disorders, birth defects, airway obstruction, lung anomaly, skin disorder, liver impairment, and kidney malfunction. This information is critical for dose alterations and for planning your child’s overall treatment.

How Criticold Syrup works

Criticold Kid Syrup contains five active ingredients ambroxol, desloratadine, paracetamol, phenylephrine, and zinc gluconate. This medicine relieves cold symptoms. Ambroxol is a mucolytic agent which thins the mucus, making it easier to cough out. Desloratadine is an anti-allergic medicine that relieves allergy symptoms like runny nose, watery eyes, and sneezing. Paracetamol is an analgesic (pain reliever) and antipyretic (fever reducer). It blocks the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain that are responsible for pain and fever. Phenylephrine is a nasal decongestant that narrows the small blood vessels, providing relief from congestion or stuffiness in the nose. Zinc gluconate releases zinc ions in the body which prevents the multiplication of infection-causing microorganisms by modulating the body’s immune system.

Quick tips

  • Criticold Kid Syrup may make your child feel sleepy. Ensure your child takes extra care when taking part in physical activities.
  • Never combine Criticold Kid Syrup with other cold and flu medicines as that may lead to side effects.
  • Stop Criticold Kid Syrup and immediately report to the doctor if your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulties.
  • Practice self-care tips:
    1. Clean and disinfect surfaces after sneezing and coughing to avoid allergy
    2. Give your child plenty of fluids as it helps to thin and loosen the mucus accumulated in the lungs
    3. Restrain your child from having caffeinated products and foods that are spicy and fried. All these can trigger coughing
    4. Make your child gargle with warm saltwater
    5. Ensure your child takes enough rest.
