Question
My daughter just turned 1, and she took half a packet of Guaifenesin and Phenylephrine Granules for coughing. Is this an overdose? What impact might it have on the child? How has past treatment been and what were the results? Will it affect the child’s growth and development?
Answer
It is recommended to take immediate oral medication such as Xinkangtaike or Chuanxiong Chaotiao Tablets for treatment, while also ensuring adequate rest, avoiding overexertion, maintaining a cheerful mood, getting plenty of rest to conserve energy, reducing daily activities, and paying attention to staying warm. Appropriate walking can help promote blood circulation.
