Question: Hello Doctor, My son is 24 months old and 9.8 kg. He is having running nose. I gave him T -Minic drops, 1ml in dropper once. Can you please advise, whether this is correct dose and how frequently and what quantity to be given?.
Thankyou.

Brief Answer:
1ml twice daily

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
Welcome to Ask A Doctor service
I understand your concern

Most of the cold in children are viral and need only supportive measures. You can give the same medicine 1ml twice daily for 3-5 days. Use saline nasal drops for any nasal blockage, 2 drops 4 times daily. Along with this give paracetamol suspension (250mg/5ml) 3 ml when needed.

Most cases will respond to these measures in 3-5 days. If no relief by then or he develops cough and breathing difficulty, we can evaluate further

I hope this answer will help
