Alerid Syrup is a medication that is commonly used to treat allergic symptoms in children, such as watery eyes, runny nose, sneezing, and itching. It can be used to treat conditions such as hay fever, urticaria (hives), conjunctivitis (red, itchy eye), and the common cold. When giving Alerid Syrup to your child, it is essential to follow the dosage, timing, and method of administration prescribed by your child's doctor. The medication may be given alone or in combination with other medicines. Your child's symptoms may improve after a few initial doses, but if the condition is severe, the medication may need to be taken for up to two weeks. If your child vomits within 30 minutes of taking the medication, you may need to repeat the same dose after your child feels better, but you should not do so if it is already time for the next dose. While Alerid Syrup is generally safe for children, some mild side effects may occur, such as nausea, vomiting, dry mouth, dizziness, sleepiness, and headache. These symptoms are usually not serious and will go away on their own.
However, if your child experiences prolonged or bothersome side effects, you should consult your child's doctor without delay. It is important to inform your child's doctor if your child is taking any other medications or is allergic to any medication, product, or food. You should also let the doctor know if your child has had any heart, liver, or kidney problems or was born prematurely.
If your child has a history of bowel obstruction, malnutrition, weight-related issues, or thyroid problems, you should also inform the doctor. Sharing your child's medical history with the doctor will help to avoid any complications during treatment and allow your child's doctor to plan their overall treatment more effectively.
