Hi
Thanks for the question to H C M.
Occasionally running of nose and mild cough 9 sometimes ) in a child may be due to some sort of allergy and this is very common among in this group .
Your doctor has prescribed right medicine and 6 drops twice in day is also right dose .
Wikoryl -AF ( chlropheniramine +pheniramine maleat ) is a combination of most potent anti allergic medicine and safe for children.
When all these symptoms subside , stop the medicine ( means your son is fine and fit ).
Usually this syrup didn't have any side effect.
Hope this will help you .
Good luck,.
