Can Phexin dry syrup be given to a child?
Patient: Sir,The Phexin Dry Syrup, which i bought for my daughter has slight bitter taste after reconstituting.In fact i checked a couple of bottles and there is difference in the intensity. Is it safe to give her this syrup? The bottles are kept in refrigerator. Doctor: Hi...cough and cold are viral in origin 95% of the times in kids. usually they do not warrant antibiotics.All the dry syrups once reconstituted should be kept in fridge. If not the efficacy will be altered. I suggest you use a fresh bottle if prescribed by your pediatrician. Do not use antibiotics on your own.Regards - Dr. Sumanth
