Hi. I have an 8 month old daughter who was prescribed Amoxycillin and is on children's panadol as she is teething. apparently it is ok to mix the two as panadol is not an antibiotic. I would definitely recommend you give your GP a call if you have any concerns though. Hope your little one gets better soon!

Paracetamol (which is sold under the Panadol brand, but is identical in all medications containing paracetamol) in doses designed for children, and other child-suitable over-the-counter medication, is fine in doses as recommended on the packaging, and only for the period of time recommended, unless you know your child has some medical reason not to take that medication.

Once you feel medication needs to continue or dosage needs to increase beyond the instructions, you must see a doctor to ensure there is no underlying cause for your child's symptoms which might need quite different treatment.

Never mix medication of any type, for adults or children, except on the advice of a doctor, and never give adult medication to a child. Simply cutting down an adult dose with the idea of medicating a child can be dangerous.

Can you give an 8 yr old cough medicine with Zyrtec?

Dogs can have either Zyrtec or Robitussin DM (or CF). These medications are for two different purposes, they can't be used interchangeably. Zyrtec is an allergy medication, and Robitussin is a cough suppressant. Your vet can advise you of the proper medication and dose for your dog, based on it's weight and the condition your dog has.


Why people usually cough at the same time?

People may cough at the same time due to exposure to the same irritant, such as smoke or dust in the air. Additionally, seeing or hearing someone else coughing can trigger a response in our brain that makes us feel like we need to cough as well. It could also be a coincidence or due to a contagious illness spreading among a group of people.
