Is It Safe To Give Imol Every 6 Hrs To A 4 Year Old Child?
My son is 4 yes old and has high fever (101), cold and cough. Doctor prescribed imol syrup 60 ml to be given to him every 6 hrs. After having imol, he has become very weak and couldn t even walk, is sleepy all the time. Is it safe to keep giving imol every 6 hrs ?

imol is a safe drug and can be given every 6th hourly if there is temparature above 100 degrees. along with that ensure plently of fluids . the cough syrup may be causing drowsiness. use a digital thermometer to check his tempature and check it every 6th hourly . if there is mild fever just give him tepid sponging. his weakness may be because of his illness. just observe him closely. give him soup broth warm congee with little ghee to ensure that his diet does not suffer
