"Panadol for children" (syrup) - instruction written specifically for parents

Diseases that are accompanied by fever occur in almost every child, so it is very important for parents to understand - why the temperature rises and when the limit comes, after which it is necessary to give the little patient medicines against the temperature. The drug "Panadol child" (syrup), the instruction to which contains information about the components of this drug, has long earned the fame of a reliable assistant of parents and a child in the fight against heat, pain and fever.

"Panadol" is a medicine that is practically in every family

Of course, it's best to ask the qualified pediatrician if there is any sign of a malaise in the child - the doctor will be able to examine the patient and answer all the questions of his parents. Still, the drug "Panadol child" (syrup), the instruction to which contains only general recommendations for the use of the drug, is a medicinal substance that has indications and contraindications for use. It is difficult to expect from parents that they will be able to independently understand all the terms that were used in drafting the instruction and assess all manifestations of the disease in a small patient.

Particular attention should be paid to the increase in body temperature in children of the first year of life - it is for this category of children that the drug "Panadol" (suspension) is most often used. The instruction clearly gives advice on the age of the patient, from which the drug can be used, but forgets to mention two features of the child's organism. First, the composition of the suspension includes synthetic dyes, flavors and a sufficiently large amount of sugar, which in itself can provoke the emergence of undesirable allergies. Secondly, the annotation of the drug does not indicate the need to introduce additional fluid into the diet of a sick child - without this in most cases it is impossible to achieve a decrease in temperature in children.

Correct dose calculation is the key to safe drug use

Even in the case when the pediatrician appoints "Children's Panadol" (syrup), the dosage of the drug should be strictly observed. Unfortunately, paracetamol, which is the main active substance of this drug, is not always able to lower the temperature to the desired figures, and the duration of its therapeutic effect is short-lived enough. Never give "Panadol", as any pain medication and antipyretic remedy more often than doctors advise or increase the amount of the drug taken by the patient at one time - the risk of side effects and overdose is too great.

The medicine "Panadol child" (syrup), the instruction of which describes all the side effects noted so far, marked during the prolonged use of the drug, should be read before the baby starts taking this medicine. Particular attention should be paid to the duration of the course of treatment - if after a three-day application of the drug in a child's condition there is no positive dynamics, and the body's high temperature remains, then the further intake of this syrup is useless. In these cases, you can not do without a qualified medical consultation and appointment of a thorough examination of a small patient.

The drug "Panadol" - the rules of admission

If the child's parents first encountered a fever, many problems will help to decide on the purchase of the drug "Panadol child" (syrup). The instruction advises not to use any auxiliary utensils for dosing - to each bottle of this drug is attached a measuring syringe with a clearly marked scale. Therefore, it is impossible to exceed the recommended dose of the drug randomly.
