Polymol-Kid Drop
Your child’s medicine at a glance
Polymol-Kid Drop is a prescribed medicine that helps to ease pain and bring down a high body temperature (fever). It treats conditions like headache, toothache, body aches, and fever in children.
Polymol-Kid Drop is given orally, preferably at a fixed time every day. Though this medicine can be taken before or after food, it is best given after food, as it can irritate the inner lining of an empty stomach. The dose and duration will depend upon your child's age, body weight, and severity of the infection, so stick to the dose, time, and way prescribed by your child’s doctor.
However, temporary side effects such as indigestion, nausea, allergic reactions, and vomiting may occur in some children. Consult your doctor in case these episodes become bothersome for your child. This medicine is often considered safe and effective, but may not be suitable for everybody.
Do not give your child Polymol-Kid Drop along with other medicines (many cold and flu medicines and other painkillers) that contain paracetamol, as this may result in overdosing and cause dangerous side effects such as hepatotoxicity (liver damage). Always check the ingredients of any other medicines before giving them to your child in combination with this medicine.
Generally, Polymol-Kid Drop is well-tolerated by the children. Inform your doctor if your child is undergoing treatment for any blood-related disorder, is allergic to any medicinal compound, or has any birth defects, liver impairment, or kidney dysfunction. This will help your child’s doctor evaluate the dose and suitability of this medicine in a better way.
