Question

Can I give my child pediatric paracetamol yellow granules if they have a cold with runny nose and occasional cough?

Answer

If a child has a cold with symptoms like a runny nose and occasional cough, pediatric paracetamol yellow granules can be considered for treatment. However, it is recommended to conduct a routine blood test before administering medication to the child to determine if there is a bacterial infection or other complications. If there is an inflammatory infection, antibiotic treatment may be necessary. At the same time, closely monitor the child’s body temperature to prevent fever. If symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention promptly.
